AM - ran 6 easy miles in the morning. My right lower leg was still a bit tight, but in keeping with a promise I made to Libby last night, I took it easy, and averaged 8:30 miles for the run. Total time for the run was 51:00, exactly 8:30 pace. Legs felt OK, lungs felt fine during the run, but my upper body felt prett stiff. That's what I get for trying to push a car up our driveway the other day. After my run, I stretched out and showered, and by the time I got to work, my back was really sore. I must have done something to do it when I was trying to push that car. I went to the chiropractor this morning, and it feels a bit better, but still not normal. I have a heat pack on it right now, and will use the heating pad this evening. I may or may not run the extra 2 miles this evening, depending on how I am feeling, and I will have to see how I feel tomorrow morning to determine whether I will do the entire 16 miles or not. If I run this evening, it will probably be on the treadmill (Libby gets to go out with some friends). |
