yesterday's journal...
up at 4:45am, on the road by 5:00am. As of this this morning's run, I have logged 250 miles on the road since I started running again on Nov 1st. I have done the same 5k/3 mile loop approx 50 times, with various other routes to hit the long runs, sprints, etc. About 750 more miles to go.
it was tough this morning. it was dark and cold, there was ice on the windshield's of the cars. everything felt sore and stiff this morning. hips, quads, knees, ankles. that muscle/tendon that goes across the front of your hip, running towards the side, maybe the sartorious? wow, stiff. left knee and right heel, just feeling them as I ran and keeping them under control. this was 6 days running in a row, 24.6 miles without a rest day. all in all, though, i think i feel pretty good.
second day of my homebrewed "strength for runners" plan. back squats, deadlifts, barbell lunges, russian twists, toes 2 bar. ugh, i'm not sure if doing leg work is better on Thurs (after 6 days of running) or on Mondays (day after the long run). I kept it a little lighter than normal, and I did a lot of stretching/rolling after lifting. it was kind of nice to just do my own thing today, not worry about the WOD, not worry about the clock, not worry about what other people are doing. just get some work done.
