I Run Like A Girl

Takin the day off today. I am so sore, I thought I might get up and run a few easy miles but slept horrible last night, my legs were so restless. Also where my sports bra hits I sometimes get little sores, well after the race no troubles ( I had put a bandaid and vaselined good) but when I woke up sunday morning I had a huge rash and my lymphnoid under my armpit was really sore. My friends husband is a PA at a dermatolgists office so he had me come up and look at it last night because benadryl did not help it (I am allergic to some bandaids). Well there is infection, so he got me started on some creme and antibiotic. Its started to go down a little. But no chance I could put my sportsbra on this morning to run, so that really forced me to take the day off. I should be good to go tomorrow. I am going to April also tomorrow to get my calves worked on before they cause  everything else to hurt.

Ouch! Although I felt better then I thought I would. Wish I would have woken up earlier to get a few extra in but I am being cautious and want to make sure I get fully recovered from the weekend. Get massaged tonight and may run a few slow miles after. Plan on running easy 8 tomorrow and then start increasing mileage back up through the weekend. Felt little twinges all over today. no watch.

 BTW : the new pic is from WBR...I love those honey buckets!

Oh felt so much better today! No aches, pains or twinges..most the the soreness is gone just mainly felt some fatigue in legs but felt better the further we got into the run. Ran with Cheri and Jeff and just took it easy. Did the same route that the wildbull and I have ran the past couple weeks. Added on 1.5 mi at the end. The last little bit was from main st down to 300s and to the marathon finish. Got me super excited as I visualized me coming in!

BTW: I am finally out of the stupid running funk/rut I was in the past couple of weeks! yahhh:) I feel motivated again!

Got up and ran 4.5 on my own and then ran 6 with Peg and Heidi. Then I added on another 2.5 mi. Took it pretty easy, still a little tired but a great run. I have been drinking one scoop of the endurox for the past 2 weeks and i think that helps quite a bit. So nice to have a long weekend!

Rode down to vegas yesterday to take my brother in law and his wife to the airport. Got home pretty late (for me:) and was super tired this morning. Didnt make it out til about 7:15, thats just too late to get started in the summer. Warmed up pretty fast but not too bad, the sun just gets in my eyes (and I hate running with sunglasses). We stopped at Trader Joes and got my favorite dried pineapple rings and ate some on the car ride home (late) and needless to say all that fiber gave me some tummy trouble this morning. Had a couple pit stops (good thing my sis in law was awake when I pounded on her door bright and early to use their bathroom!). All in all was a good run, hamstring started out a little tight but warmed up. Yesterday I could feel it throughout the day. Planning on running with the club tomorrow and getting some tempo miles in.

Amazing how you can feel so dang good one week and the next feel so crappy! Had a very tough run today. Ran down the marathon course with club (well behind them). All of us ran together for the first 3 and then it was me, james and dustin. I stopped for a potty break around6 and from then one I was a lone ranger. Got a horrible cramp on the right side of my stomach that would not budge! Oh I was hoping someone I knew would drive by and pick me up, good thing I dont carry a cell phone cuz i for sure would have called my hubby to come and get me. Saw some girls I know and stopped and walked with them for about 5 min and then headed on again. I am so glad I finished and i did not die (because I thought I might at times j/k : )
