| Feeling a bit better today. Yesterday I want to the gym, did some lifting and managed a slow 1 mile on the treadmill. Buoyed by that I got all set for my long run this morning complete with fueling, stretching, rolling and early wake up call. I promised myself I would listen to my body … …Continue reading back on my feet again Its been three days now without a run. After the 10 miler on Sunday I did everything right but I still woke up hobbled on Sunday. Since it still really hurt going up and down stairs on Monday I did some research. Chelsea was bang on, it is my IT band that is causing the … …Continue reading diagnosing my knee pain & a few days rest I survived my 10 miler this morning despite drinking a whole bottle of wine last night. Good thing I was at least with it enough to drink a ton of water. This is also the first long run in awhile where I have fueled properly. I woke up at 9, ate a bagel with peanut butter … …Continue reading 10 miler success, knee still sketchy I think in these situations I am my own worst enemy, I need to take some time off for the ole knee I think. My knee felt okay this morning, though I am still not feeling 100% (everyone is sick!), so I thought I would go ahead on my tempo at lunch time. The goal … …Continue reading shortened tempo, the knee flares Had a nice slow slog this evening after work. I was really worried about my knee, and I haven’t been feeling great so I just kept it slow. I accidentally under-planned my route and decided to call it while I felt good rather then push too hard. I could really feel the tightness around my knee, … …Continue reading successful run, whew I had 4 miles scheduled today, and I figured if my knee was still feeling bad then I would skip it. However the knee felt fine when I woke up, even going up and down stairs. I woke up late, had breakfast (leftover crisp) and headed out just before noon. The weather was perfect, my body … …Continue reading 3.4 mile run with iffy knee Although my plan called for me to do my long run tomorrow I opted to do it today. I like knowing it is over and done with, it helps me have a nicer weekend. That said, it was pouring rain. Really, really pouring rain. I actually went out with the intention of only doing 3 … …Continue reading a very rainy 9 mile run Sometimes all you need is encouragement. Without whining, I wasn’t feeling it this morning but I was still out there for a quick easy 3 mile run before work and before the sun rose. I was in my little grumpy world when I saw a woman walking to her car, she looked and me and … …Continue reading "good for you" I was bad and didn’t stretch or roll out yesterday. I got a new fancy frying pan for my birthday (yes I am that kind of geek) and was all excited to try it out. So after I had made dinner I was going to watch TBL but instead I got totally distracted playing with … …Continue reading wet and dark, feeling like a gerbil I had a great race, PR, and birthday today! This was the first time running the Vancouver Turkey Trot, and my 3rd 10K race since I started running just over a year ago.
