AM: 8.04k at 5:00 pace.
PM: 23.9k in 1:46:34, 4:27 ave pace. Felt hip soreness at times, knee just a bit, back felt pre-pinchy (where it might get a pain that wouldn't resolve for a couple of days, that concerned me), right ankle hurt for one k at around 14k. At around 15, I thought, "Yeah, I have a bit of a cold, I can feel it sapping me." It was so windy. I don't mention it often, but I often think "I am going to blog about this" but I don't. So, here it is: often I feel headwind both on the way out and the way back. It is wierd. I will fight the wind and think that it will get better when i turn around, only to find it's still there. It may be because the trail is along the water, so it is really a cross wind? Not sure but it tricks me all the time. I find myself talking to the blog as I run, is that healthy? Not sure. I know I miss my running buddies. Went to the bathroom every two miles about three times--I am wondering if I am slightly gluten intolerant? I know--jumping on the anti-gluten bandwagon? My diet here is heavy on the oatmeal and the pb&j or pb&b (banana) sandwiches, so I am cutting out gluten just for a bit to see if it helps. I hope it doesn't take long to cycle it out, because I really like my gluten and want to get back to it.
TMI, I know, but you're the one reading this :D |
