I went for a run today-first time since Tuesday. It mostly felt good-although my joints felt a little like the tinman--needing an oiling! I was stiff and creaky for the first half of the run. Did either of you get out?
I did! I went to the lakefront this AM. I got there and was surprised how breezy it was...white caps even. I was thinking...how is this going to go? But the trail moves inland and I got moving so it was great! Even took off my hood and my gloves. I went for 50 minutes, so did 9 intervals plus the warm up walk. I ran at least 1 minute out of every 5. I, too, felt very awkward in the first run, but I definitely got better as I went along. Even the second interval was better. My knees have felt quite stiff today. I would like for that to go away. I was hoping to ride my bike this evening, but I am very tired and it is only about 50 degrees so that's not going to happen. I'm thinking I'm heading to bed early, except for that basketball game. Well...we'll see.
Not yet. I had a conference call last night and then Vince and I went out to watch the game. I am going to personal training tonight, and then should be back running on Wednesday. I'm going to look at mapmyrun.com to see if I can get a 4 mile or so route to try running outside!
Let's just say that I'm not going running today. I will do something less impactful. I hate that it was just a few years ago that I could do the whole walk/run program and not have my knees hurt. Of course that was a few years and quite a few pounds ago. How are you girls doing?
