Although I tried the same exact run last week with less than optimal results, I got it into my head that this was going to be a better experience. I got up almost a full hour earlier, and I got up to the gas station and was all stretched and ready to go about 45 minutes earlier than last Monday. The other thing that I had going for me was the clouds in the Eastern sky. They delayed the sun rising just enough so that I was litterally walking up my driveway when I finally saw the sun peek out. I think that is what saved me! Other than walking to drink or take some GU, I was able to run the entire distance (ok, Veyo hill still got to me a little). I felt pretty good after I gfot home. But, because I had to run errands all day and not get in a good nap or at least some down time off of myu feet, my left knee really started to hurt. By the time I was ready for bed, I had to put an ice pack on it, which seemed to ease the pain a bit. |
