Okay, okay...before you go worrying about the miles, let me explain.
First off, I throughly got put in the dog house yesterday and I'm going to try this rest thing again. poo. I hate, hate, hate seeing no miles!! But, I really think my foot will heal better and faster this way. Yes, I'm still doing PC...how can I not?!? :)
So, last night at RS a group of ladies in my ward that are the running recruiters (everyone must be too scared of me, so no one will run with me!) in the ward finally asked me to come run with them. They never ask me to come run, I tell them I can keep up with them (they are slower - 11-12mm), but they just laugh and honestly sometimes it hurts my feelings that I am a runner, but no one in the ward will run with me! I understand my pace and miles are intimadating to them, but still - sometimes I just like to run for the social aspect and I don't care about pace. So, since I finally got my invitation to the 'elite' running group of the ward I couldn't turn it down. Besides, they were only doing 4 miles at an 11-12mm - no biggie :)
So, we started around 9:30 and our first mile was around a 10:30mm, not too bad for them and I was just enjoying the company. Well, at 1.6 miles one of the ladies had a HUGE sugar drop (she's had a few of them this week) and she all but passed out. She laid there on the grass and I was the only one who had thought to bring water. In my handheld water bottle I always keep jelly beans, chomps or something of the like incase I end up near dead on a run and need something. It is how I use all the free samples I get :) So, I had some OLD carb boom chews (they're HARD and rip your teeth out if you try to chew them!), but it was all we had. So, I gave her 2 and she said she'd never felt the sugar recover SO quickly - even with skittles. Good endorsement, huh? :) At that she still laid there for about 20 minutes recovering until she felt ready to walk. Thankfully, it was at the bottom of the big hill up to the Middle school and around to the Park, so we got to walk the hardest part of the run! Score.
When she was finally ready to run again, the pace was closer to a 12mm, but I just jogged along with the crowd enjoying the chatter and friends. We finished running 4 miles right by my house, so we walked down to Natalies house at the end of the street, made sure Amber (the one who had the crash) got home safely, then I walked with Lori back to my house. It was 11:30!!!
Holy Crap, longest 4 mile run ever. But, it was better than just sitting and watching Shark Week :) The total running time for the 4 miles was 46:00, so an 11:30AP. I'm certain that this isn't considered running...for ME. Jogging, yes. Running, no. So, see? you can't get mad! I wasn't running :)
Took me an hour to unwind and feel ready for bed. Thankfully, Wed is my sleep in day.
Rode the mtn bike with Adam (baby) on the back to the Rec center this morning. Did a wonderful sweaty spin class, then jumped in the pool for 1500yds (60 touches). Did each 500 in 12:00, 11:30 and 11:00. Nice progressive swim. Not as fast as I once was in the water, but not horrible. I'd like them to be 10:00.
Picked up baby and miracle of all miracles...guess who didn't go to timeout ONCE?!? Oh yeah! A good day in the nursery. I can hardly believe it! He certainly got a treat after we rode home. When we got to the house, I got off the bike and I said "did you have fun on your ride?" He looked at me and said "more?!?" that kid! I tell ya, he loves to be outside. Always has. Even as a newborn he would only calm down when we'd take him outside and rock or walk with him.
So, no more running this week. I need commando points :) I will put my body on an important list and try to heal up this foot. It has gotten to a point where it has stopped getting better. Not worse, just not better...and it ain't gonna cut it for SGM. I will keep up fitness/cardio with bike and ellip and then some swim. I can do this, I just need to be healthy, and it isn't worth rupturing my PF, right? |
