Running after the Easter Bunny

[limewave]

I was cleared by my doc to run a 5k today. Running felt good. The hamstring definitely felt better than it did 4 days ago, but there were still some twinges of pain. I had to take it easy.

I hope the 8 miles I'm supposed to do on Saturday go better.

4.8 miles @ 9:20, trying out some new shoes, without the orthotics I've been wearing for years.

Hmmmm.

All feels good, but my left quad is kind of unusually fatigued. Noticed it during the run. I wonder if it's the stupid orthotics that created all the imbalances in my hips. I'm tempted to take them out of my old shoes too. We'll see how I feel tomorrow...

I'm kind of tearing my hair out wanting to stop doing anything that's contributing to injury or imbalance NOW, not wanting to change anything too quickly, needing to keep the volume up for the next 44 days. Ugh.

Anyway, kind of short for a "tempo" run, but didn't want to go too long the first time I'd worn these shoes.

Still feeling the cumulative effects of high-volume riding and running this week. May skip tomorrow's club ride.
