Brandon was a sweetheart last night and rubbed my calves. He must not have been as hard as I thought he would be because I feel asleep :o). This morning they felt much better. They are still a little swore, but nothing like yesterday. Thank you everyone for all your advice. I'll have to do some of the exercizes that everyone reccomended yesterday to help prevent further pain.
This morning I hit the pavement and went 7.25 miles. The first 1/2 mile was very awkward. I don't know why, but I felt like my stride was not right. After that 1/2 mile it felt great. Brandon says I'm getting faster. I'm still slower than most of the other people on this blog, but I ran my 7.25 miles at a 9:30 min/mile pace. He is so sweet for telling me that I'm getting faster. It made me feel like I was accomplishing something.
Okay, quick story:
While we were visiting my dad, Melanie was playing with this blocks. My dad decided to take a nap on the living room floor. He was sawing some serious logs and scared Melanie. Melanie decided to investigate the noise, and crawled up to my dad. She looked at him, looked at Brandon, looked around, and then looked back to her Grandpa. It looked like she was going to claw his face or something. Then all the sudden she pulls out a block that apparently she had carried over with her, and shoves it in Grandpa's mouth. Smart girl, she stopped the scary noise instantly. LOL |
