Legs still totally trashed. It really hurts and is very difficult to get moving. It gets slightly better as I go but still not comfortable at all. Most of the pain/issues are in the inside quads leading into both inner knees. Both are sore to the touch and every step hurts. I also have some issues in the hamstrings as well. On top of that my left knee really kills for at least the first mile. For these reasons I only ran 4.3 miles this morning. I could have run 10 but at what cost? I am not sure what is going on as I have not done any killer workouts or anything that I would cosider hard enough to bring this on. I have never really had anything happen like this before so I am in new territory. All I can think is that the adventure race took a bigger toll on my body than I initiall thought and I jumped back into high mileage too quickly and my body shut down. However, the first three days after the race everything was doing ok and jut took a severe dive on the fourth day onward. We will see what tomorrow brings. For now more ice and ibuprofin and pray that I can attempt to race on Saturday. |
