Today we had practice by the JCC. This trail has to be one of my favorites to run, especially because the return portion of the run is all downhill and you can go pretty fast on it- if you're careful, that is. It's a shame that i wasn't feeling well at all today so my time was terrible and i didn't really get the chance to enjoy it as much. Throughout the run i kept feeling really lightheaded and often tripping on rocks. I couldn't keep my balance and running became quite a challenge when it came to running next to a drop off. I almost fell twice off the trail and I lost count of the number of times i tripped and twisted my ankles coming close to falling flat on my face. Today was one of those days i probably should not have ran. I also kept feeling pain on my right hip, like right where the epiphysis of my femur is. I've been ignoring it for the past week and i think i will continue to, unless the pain worses. Overall, it was worth going to practice and running but it was tough making it down in one piece feeling the way i did. |
