Amazingly, the problem after last night's 9 is not the legs. The legs are fine. What hurts like heck are my abs. It feels like I did 3000 situps. Sometimes the abs are a little sore early in a run, then I settle in. Not tonight. They never did settle in. The best way I could get through the run was to almost feel like I was leaning backwards as I ran; that at least reduced the discomfort. Was I running leaning forward last night? I don't think so, but the abs seem to be telling me otherwise. I think I'm going to ice down my abs tonight (boy, that sounds strange). But with sore abs, no temptation whatsoever to push the pace (but a whole lot of temptation to turn the TM off and leave).
Good night's sleep last night, which helps, and work was not bad. But the abs were sore even at work, which probably should have tipped me off. |
