Bad news is, after several days of no pain, the leg chose tonight to act up. Good news is, I found a way to temporarily alleviate it so I don't have to shut down a run. It'll act up in another mile, but as long as I get down on one knee for a few seconds, it'll settle down enough to continue for a few more minutes. Tedious, to be sure, but better than not running. I'll have to test it on a longer run in a few days, assuming it continues to act up. Anyway, got in four miles around the mall. I've felt really tired all day; didn't sleep well last night at Bryant and didn't take the needed nap this afternoon. Maybe I'll sleep well tonight and the leg will calm down.
Need 13 more miles to get to 1400 for the year. That would have been a wonderful total in 2008, lousy last year, really lousy this year, but I've kept enough of a fitness level that I can ramp up in the next 16 weeks if the injuries cooperate. |
