This has been a pissy week for me. Last Thursday, I woke early and nailed 2 mile repeats. Completely kicked my butt, but felt good. After work, I met Jess and we did a "Brew Mile". Think about it - for $5 you get to participate in a 1 mile run / walk and then afterwards get a free beer! A pure genius came up with this idea! Maybe someone can come up with a 2 mile fun run and you would get TWO beers afterwards. Or maybe....
Anyway, I didn't run Friday but Jess and I hit the gym on Saturday. I struggled through 4 easy miles. My left ankle felt weak and sore on the outside by the ankle joint. I spent the afternoon icing it and relaxing.
Due to a busy week, and wanting to play it safe, I took a few days off. Outside of getting my 10,000 daily steps (damn Fitbit...) and volleyball on Tuesday, I did nothing. It was somewhat glorious, but I also felt very lazy and anxious.
Thursday finally rolled around, and we hit the gym. I tested it with just over 3 easy miles. A little sore, but maybe I was just being overly nervous and careful due to not wanting to make it worse. Regardless, I got through it, no issues afterwards, and have been nursing it all day today.
Tomorrow, Jess and I have a 5k with many of our friends. That will be the real test. I plan to do some easy jogging warm up to get it ready and then see what it can do. I am shooting for somewhere around 21 or 21:30 tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.
Oh, also over the last week I have done Pilates twice with Jess at gym - once Sunday, and once this morning. My abs have hurt from both days! We'll see how that factors into tomorrow's adventure.
Left, right, repeat
