Decided to do my long run today because the weather was going to be nasty this weekend. I ran 17.3 miles at an overall 6:59 pace in 2:01. Actually, the weather was awful this morning with snow and rain coming down and a fun circling wind that I couldn't figure out what it was doing. I was very, very, very soaked by the end of the run. I would have ran even further, but my feet and socks were socked, and I did want to completely ruin my shoes or risk an injury. The course I ran had about half uphill and some downhill so it was a good workout.
I was also chased by a Golden Lab that nipped me on the leg this morning during my run. I gave the dog a good kick after he nipped me, and it ran back to the house. I know where the dog came from and I'm going to call animal control, because this dog could seriously hurt a kid. He exactly ran out in the street from the house and nipped me. Luckily it didn't break the skin because I had my tights on. Also, the achilles feels fine no more crackling it feels completely healed. I don't think though I have the push off the right leg like I should but that won't take long. It's hard to describe what I mean when I say that, it just does feel like it has the same strength yet as my left leg. |
