all right, all right, this is the last day i will allow myself to claim Murph. i made a decision to skip my strength workout and go to the gym and just work mobility issues. weak, but felt like the right thing to do.
up at 4:30am, on the the streets by 4:45am, 3 long slow miles. seriously, these were the slowest miles since i started running again in November. my legs were stiff and sore, and even my upper body kept reminding me how sore it was. every step was an impact that i felt through my core and up into my shoulders, and even down into my forearms. it wasn't really a fun run, but i had 3 miles to do and i did them.
strength 2 was supposed to be back squats, deadlifts, front rack barbell lunges and toes 2 bar. instead, i spent over an hour with a foam roller, a lacrosse ball, and some bands. i worked the quads, the hamstrings, the calves, the hips. tried to hit just about everything from the waist down. I think I am feeling better, and that listening to my body was the right thing to do.
looking forward to a rest day friday. then i'm not sure how to fit my weekend runs in. i need a fast 5 on saturday and a long 8 on sunday. there's little league game sat, and a mariners game sun. i need some more time...
