11 Days to Go - Still Sore, But Doing Better
I got into my gym clothes before work today, in hopes of getting a run in at lunch time. I was still feeling quite sore, so I put it off until I got home in the evening. The weather was so beautiful out tonight that I couldn't deny myself some time outside, sore legs and all. (Traci, you're gonna love the weather here! Feb-Mar/Oct-Nov seem to be the best month's here weather-wise.) Unfortunately tonight, it was dark when I went out running, so I had to stick to areas that were well-lit to avoid tripping on the awful sidewalks. I ended up just running around the nearby small university campus over and over and over again. The route was about 3/4 mile long, and I got in 6 miles before heading home for dinner. My legs are still sore, but are starting to feel better.

You know it's funny ... the last time I did my "long" walk it was beyond dark out and I was heading down a hill while someone else was heading up a hill. I could see them and they seemed to be staring right at me, but apparently they couldn't see a damn thing. I was over on the right and so were they ... and before you know it this person runs right into me. I knew the area really well as I had been walking there for months, but apparently night-blindness is a bit of a curse for some.
ReplyDeleteYou know when it was snowing and the cricks and cracks were covered in the snow, the very well-known walks became treachery in disguise.
Morale of the story - clear paths are a good thing.
Good that you got in 6 miles though, definitely sounds like your legs are improving. How about the feet?
