Got up, got ready. Bathroom wouldn't let me go. I have some sort of bug. URRRRR. When I finally got out the door I only had 30-35 min to run. So, I did what I could. Starting off I could feel some sort of strain/pulled something on the outside of my leg above my ankle. Yesterday I started to go up some stairs at work fast (like two at a time) with a lot bounce (kinda like running), and I could feel I was sore deep in there from Sat. So I stopped going up the stairs like that. This morning it was SORE to push off. It took 200 yards or so to get where I could stride somewhat normal. The pain/soreness didn't get worse so I kept going. With the lack of time, and my legs feeling good after a warm up, I decided I would push the pace a little and see how it would go. After all I knew I wouldn't be getting many miles in today, so why not have a couple fast miles. Things felt good. The soreness above the ankle never went away all together, but did subside somewhat. Legs in general felt GOOD. Lots of water, NO soda, and a few days recover after Sat and legs are feeling good. Splits: 7:50, 7:17, 6:49, 7:11, 8:20 (last .11 :-) "cool down")
Time:
30:06
Avg Pace:
7:19 min/mi
Have a wonderful day! This link has a cool video that really made me think about "worlds without number" Moses 1:33-35, 38 PS - I keep forgetting to tell everyone about the running with the bulls (ok, cows) at Hobble Creek Half . I was running down the canyon and from the right side there was two cows that bolted across the street and up the side of the hill on the left. Then about 100 yards later a younger cow bolts out on the street gets scared of the runners and turns around back down the side of the road, well that caused the calf to panic, when it an the mom emurged out of the brush to cross the street, mom was ANGRY, she had her angry voice on and mooooo'd angry and right at all of us. I thought she was going to stand and fight. Luckly she wanted out of there as much as we did.
