Got on the treadmill tonight for some quick miles. It felt great to run after taking a whole week off. After I finished my half last Sat 27th I told my husband I was so exhausted I was going to take a week off, but I didn't really mean it. The first two days after my race were surprisingly brutal. My legs have never felt so sore after running in my life, that was crazy. I literally hobbled around my house and my legs swelled up. They were actually puffy looking. Weird. Then I got sick with a bad cold and went through several boxes of tissues. By today I was starting to feel desperate, still have some lingering stuffiness but ran anyways. It felt great and I hope I don't have to miss a whole week again for a very long time. I don't even want to mention all the buckets of Halloween candy I have downed the past few days, its shamefully regretful. |
