A Sluggish Nine Miler

Struggled a bit tonight and was glad to get back home for a shower. My knees felt a bit sore and my right foot bothered me a little - I probably looked a right site hobbling along (that’s how I felt anyway). It’s either the extended Kara Goucher workout I did the other night coming back to haunt me or I’ve missed my daily Tissue Rejuvenator more than I thought I would.

I ran out of my favorite anti-inflammatory a couple of weeks ago and by the time UPS delivered a new batch, I’d been without for the best part of three weeks. If I were sensible I would have popped out to the local drug store and picked up a generic brand to tide me over, but I didn’t so I went without and now my joints are hurting.

Another factor could be that I’ve run every day in June apart from June 1st, so tomorrow will be a forced rest day and I’ll probably go for a bike ride instead. Does riding a beach cruiser count? I hope so….

Nothing exciting to report tonight. Mile splits varied from 8:00 (the first one) to 7:09 (the last one) and none of them felt easy. Luckily there was no push ups to do tonight, just ten minutes of core strength work. I’m glad it’s the weekend!
