10 miles with Melanie and Emily. Ran from my house to Orem High track, 6 x 800 meters, ran back home. My thermometer sais 25 degrees, but the wind was blowing so hard it felt like 10 degrees and my times showed it, 3:00, 3:02, 3:02, 3:02, 3:02, and 3:05. I started laughing when I saw the last one, because I felt like I was going so hard and still being so slow. My calves were also really tight.
At lunch time I was encouraged because my hamstring felt so good. It didn't bother me at all on the run and wasn't acting up one bit. I was in the process of emptying the dishwasher in the afternoon when the phone rang and I spent about 20 min in the office. As I walked around the corner of my island in my kitchen I forgot I left he dishwasher open and tripped on it. As I fell I thought, "If I land on this door I'll break it right off." Not wanting to purchase a new dishwasher I put my hands out for the floor and tried my best to avoid it. I hit my knee on the corner of the open dishwasher door as I fell and landed on my side on the floor. As I lay on the ground with my hands on my knee, tears coming to my eyes and breathing like I was having a baby I thought, "If I can't run because of this I'm going to be so mad." Then I thought, "I'm glad I swept the floor this morning." Then I realized it felt a little sticky where my face was on the floor and I thought, "I would have mopped if I knew I was going to be laying on the floor for this long."
Later in the afternoon and evening all my hamstring problems seemed to come back, the tightness, pinched nerve pain, etc. I'm so mad at myself. |
