Runner's support and Accountability

@eeyorepoohfan Glad you got your workout in, but sorry your legs were all knotted up. I’ve been there before and it is no fun

Great job @rocketear99! I sure hope it dries out soon for you so you aren’t sloshing through the mud all the time. You did fantastic!

@RocketEAR99 Thank you!! Thankfully my legs feel much better today! My back had completely locked up on my yesterday from cleaning the office and the house. I have a wonky low back. Thankfully, Ryan knows how to get me realigned! It was a doozy last night though. We even had to pull out our electronic muscle stim machine and ice to get it to relax. I haven’t messed myself up that badly in a long while! And it’s very possible that my tightness in my legs contributed to my back being so tight. I used today as a rest day and just took Winnie for a 1.25 mile walk. I hope you get dryer ground soon for your runs and lower humidity levels! But you did fantastic!! My body only seems to like intervals of walking and running. If I keep trying to run farther without my walk breaks, my overall pace is much slower than if I just took a short walk break. I am going to try to see if I can break my body of that habit. But I think the hard thing for me is that since I always run half marathons, my brain and body are always in that long distance mode, even on a short run day. So it’s like my body is conserving energy for the long haul.

@nascfan Thank you! Me too!! Yesterday was the worst I’ve been in quite a while. But I am much better today! I’m so sorry your shins are barking!! Do calf stretches and some icing! That should help!

@nascfan Happy to help!

@10dedfish Wow!! Fantastic run pace!!! I’m glad you had low humidity. That’s a bit high on temps for me still! You are doing awesome on your runs!!

@10dedfish great run! That is an incredible pace, awesome job!

Before the days get away from me…

I ran yesterday morning at 5:30am. Running in the neighborhood where there’s more light at that time in the morning. It was 68* and I did pretty good! I was pleased with my time and pace, I like to be as close to 11’00” as I can get. It was my second day to run after taking Tuesday and Wednesday off due to bad sinus/stress headaches. Hubby still says he’s sore so he didn’t come with me and I’m giving Leia a break from running because a couple of her pads are peeling a little. I don’t think it’s from running specifically, she was only going with me once, sometimes twice a week and while I’m running she is still at a walk pace we were taking her for a mile long walk almost every day (unless we ran) because that girl always wants to be outside! The vet said it looks fine, it’s not that bad, it’s not bleeding, and it’s not infected. She said it happens and she wouldn’t suggest curbing all exercise because Leia needs exercise. I’ve just decided to limit her to walks for now to give her a break.

Total Time: 34:14
Total Distance: 3.00
