was just a run day, and only 4 miles at that. but it was hard. every step of the way on the run out, i wanted to quit, turn around go home. once past the halfway point, every step of the way, i wanted to give up and start walking. it was a real struggle. lots of aches. everything from the waist down. glutes, hamstrings, quads, calfs. hips, knees, ankles, heel. and a new one, the lower back. this is one to watch. I can't afford back issues right now. I actually felt a twinge while running monday. down a big hill, lots of impact, off a curb wiht extra height, and i felt a twinge. I will need to care for this. I will ice it throughout the day, and try to stretch tonight. if i still feel it tomorrow, I will skip strenght training adn stick with stretching. if i have an imminent lower back issue, on the verge, i cannot afford heavy squats and deadlifts, etc.
weather was strange. when i headed out, it was really sunny. i went with shorts and a tshirt. but it was relaly windy, and then it got overcast, and then it started raining. in the space of 33 minutes, I had hot and sunny, gloomy and windy, and then rainy. i was glad to get home and hit the showers.
I miss going to the gym everyday. i miss the weights and the overall soreness of lifting heavy. I miss my friends, and the social aspect of the gym. running is very solitary sometimes.
3/25/14. coffee. orange. almonds/peanuts. beef stew. mashed potatoes. protein bar. cheese and lunch meat. cottage cheese. enchiladas. broccolini. strawberries and cookies. reese's peanut butter eggs (i think i finished the easter candy, and its only 3/24/). lots of water.
