| Went 3.75 with Nat and didnt feel that great but then went 5.35 with peg. and felt tons better on the second half. Avg pace was an 8. Right hamstring still feeling a little tight, been stretching it but know I need to be better about stretching it out throughout the day. I need to get going with some speedwork, (strides and tempos) but have felt a little unmotivated to do so. I think I go through the winter running blues(every year!) when the weather starts to turn colder. I am giving it to the end of the week to take it easy on my runs and then I have to get back into the groove of things. By the way I am so excited my two sister-in-laws joined the blog (Jody and Andee)!!! | | Comments(4) |

Today Im just glad I got out of bed and ran. I was thinking of every excuse to stay in bed and sleep but I got out and as always so glad that I went. I forgot to start my garmin so I dont have a pace or time but guessing it was about a 7:45-7:50. | | Comments(9) |

So this morning I was not feeling well (my husband , a few co-workers, and tons of my patients have been sick) when I got up to go running so I made sure there would be at least two people from group there to run and then I hopped right back in bed and did not feel bad about it at all!
But dont worry I did get my run in after work. I ran up to the SG Running Center from my house (1.43 mi) and then met up with the runners there, we went on the SC parkway trail. I was with some of the guys for the first mile or so and then they took off so I was on my own from there ( I tried to keep them in view on the way out). I felt great , usually when I run at night I struggle a little cuz my body is not use to it and Im tired from work. But this run I really felt fantastic except for my hamstring was really tight.I felt like it kinda held me back from what i felt capable of tonight. I had to stop and stretch it a few times. I turned around when I got 5.15 out so it would give me a little over 10 to go back to my house. On my way down Valley View my husband came up along side me and gave me ride home (he was worried about me running in the dark) so my run got cut short a little, but good enough for me.

Well today will be no miles day for me. My hamstring as I mentioned before has been bothering me and this morning when I got up I could really feel it so I made the conscious decision to rest it today. Its hard for me mentally to take a day off but I know I need too. (I had trouble with my hamstring after the Spectrum 10k in March which is almost an identical course to the SC half except shorter )
Anyways on a different note and maybe I will post this on the discussion board but do any of you out there suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome too? I have since I was in high school, its never been very bad but the past 3 or 4 years it has gotten worse.Wakes me up at night, or hard to fall asleep cuz they are so flinchie (is that a word??) and achy. They get bad when I fly or travel or watching a movie late at night.It seems to be worse when I have done a long run or a run where I put more into it. I dont want to use the medication they have out to help with it. Any recommendations??? | | Comments(7) |
