Day 3
2 miler. The fact that I had the stomach flu all of the previous day was something that worried me a ton when thinking whether or not I was going to go. I did go and just told myself that all would be ok. Just one foot in front of the other. It took me until 3pm to convince myself to go. I did go, I did make it. I followed it up with a 2 hour nap. Lord I still felt like shit.
Day 4
Feeling tons better today! However, the ice/snow storm came in Wednesday night and I was very reluctant to wake up and go for 3 miles. Turns out this was a smart decision because no ice melt efforts had been made on the side streets. I was really sliding around taking the 4 year old to care and back to work. However the day broke sunny and warm and all but the darkest shaded areas had shunned their ice by the evening. I was going to get the little guy and the trailer and get that run in after work. Well unfortunately he had one of his off days and I just had to ensure that he didn't have any fun for his lack of listening at school. It wasn't until 9:30pm, after dinner settled, and Joe Dirt rolling credits that I was able to get my butt out there. Did it. Felt so much better than yesterday. Still don't feel like I'm doing anything but running. When I got home my watched revealed I had popped off a fast one. Like a minute off my fastest pace so far. As I was stretching I saw something odd in the glow of my headlamp, my knees were steaming! Started my stretching outside and continued inside while showering. I touched my toes while stretching for the first time in my adult life!
