Early morning with the Chumps.
I was so excited to test out my new shoes (and insoles). Overall, the run was a success, albeit 2 weeks of very little running does take its toll. No pain to speak of, just very heavy and tired legs (crazy since I have not been running, you would think they would be springy and full of life). Kept all my miles around 9 minutes and yet by 12 miles I was very tired. Blah.
Ran 10.5 miles with Brooke and Matt. At that point they turned to go home. I was going to continue to run by myself when Paul showed up. I guess the Chumps think I need a babysitter in order to make sure I don't do anything stupid and re-injure myself. Little did Paul know I was already feeling fatigued and was not going to try and speed up. Paul ran with me a couple of miles until we ran into Vuyk and Mark who were heading back. Vuyk and I decided to take it easy (it wasn't a real decision for me, more of a necessity) while Paul and Mark took off faster than fast!
Really missing how good I felt those few months before Boston. Please oh please oh please let that come back.
* Spent the remainder of the morning and afternoon helping Ry's parents with their garage sale -- yikes, that was a mess. (Although I did get my hands on some of Ry's old high school baseball sweats that he cut off and wore around the house. LOVE THEM!!! Can't wait to lounge around in them myself! :)
* * Now 24 hours later I am stiff but no real pain. :) |
