I went to see april today to massage my abs instead of going to spin - I'm so glad i did. She quickly found that my obliques were not in the fan shape they were supposed to be, but all twisted up. Sooo, after a painful 30 min, she managed to get them normal. She said my back on the opposing side was also extremely tight and was pulling my hip on that side higher. Hopefully it's all good now.
Got a nap in with the kids and felt ready to go for my run when jim got home.
Today was supposed to be recovery, but man i again felt sooo slow. I didn't feel slow in my body, but when i looked down at my pace several times, i couldn't believe it was that bad. I guess my body needed that pace today, so i averaged 8:10. I ran the watertower trail, and then finished up around toquerville. I'm doing tempo tomorrow, so hopefully the break i gave my body will be worth it.
abs were sore from the massage - they didn't seem to get worse during my run. i could feel them, but it wasn't jarring. hopefully they r ok. |
