I understand completely! I'm training for this HM and it's killing me not being on the bike. All our biking buddies are doing 50-60 mile rides already and I'm falling behind. My training plan calls for a 3 mi. run or cross on Wednesdays and I opt for the bike instead of a run. Probably not the best for my training but it is the best for my mental health
I ran 5 miles this evening after work and am feeling stronger. I came back with my first blister tonight. Ewwww! and this achilles tendon is threatening to become a problem. Oh.......I realized this evening that I haven't used ibuprofen for two weeks--before or after the run. That's progress in my book.
