Warning: Whining Wedensday: Today at work seemed like a week, don't you just hate days when you think it should be close to end of day, and you look at the clock and you still have 3 hours! Then I decided to run trails because it's suposed to start raining tonight and not stop for 7 days! This means that the 30K Saturday will be in the rain. My run was painful from the start. Calves felt like they were going to explode when I was running up hill. Hip and shin hurt running down hill. And who was the sadist that thought up ice baths!! Holy cow that is not fun. But I will probably do it again and need more ice next time. How do I know if all this hurting is muscles or injury? Last but not least my youngest son was hit by a car on his bike! Nothing broke but banged up pretty good. OK that is enough.... silver lining. The rain will be good for the new trees and shrubs I planted last weekend. Trail running always is better then road running. Ice baths will (hopfully) make me feel better. My son is fine, it could have been so much worse. 8.3 miles - 1:35:08
