I ran a single fast mile yesterday and didn't ice when I got home. I am dumb. I paid for that and so ran extra slowly this morning (9:40m/m). Up until now it's been a steady improvement. So now I know, it's not the distance, it's the speed that's getting to that place in my quad. What do you use going fast that you don't going slow? It must be how I hit the ground or push off that's different. Two weeks off my game and I'm ruined. I can't even remember how to run right. How did that happen? I need to find a Grey's Anatomy and get a good look where that thing is and what it attaches. I can feel it getting better, I just need to take it slow. I might start supplimenting with Amino Acids and a few protein drinks. I know you're supposed to get your nutrients from food sources, but I feel like my body needs some extra help. That, plus maybe some Ice Cream. Also, let's hear it for the fields of Black Eyed Susan and Larkspur! How gorgeous are those little bright faces in the dawn! I never get tired of the watching the world change outfits. |
