40:51. I took yesterday off from feing. It was the first day that I did not run/cross-train since I have been injured. I decided I needed a mental break ... cross-training is seriously difficult on my psychie and overall feeling of well-being - regardless on how happy it makes me that I have not gained weight. Anyway. I ran today in my new orthotics, felt weird, kind of like running with huge rocks in the arch of my foot. By the end of the run my feet hurt, but I could definitely feel a difference in my stride, and hence my quads and hamstrings, my leg muscles felt pretty good ... we'll see how this translates later when I am running more miles. Lucky me, I get run 75` this Sunday! Now I am off for my 80`+ of pool running. It will be chilly today in the pool, it is 55F outside, they say the water is 81, but I tell you what, it does not feel like it. The pool is covered, and two sides have full walls, the other two sides have 1/2 walls - so it can actually get pretty cool (or hot I bet in the summer). It was 49F low last night, which means if it continues for about 5 more days I can run on my trail again (have to give it a couple days for the snakes to get in hybernation mode -- one of my friends said that he ran on a local trail for 30 mins and saw 12 snakes!). Happy Thursday my fast blogging friends.
