haha do you know them in your “real” life too?
Nope, just inspirational internet people so far. I’ve never actually met anyone on my tumblr before.
Run Lojo Run!
Last night I had a dream that I went to the park and runningwithguts:and fat-to-fast: were there and so we worked out and then went swimming in a pool because it was too damn hot.
I’m pretty sure this is a sign that I’ve been looking at tumblr too much.
Make sure you up the amount of stretching and icing you do and it may help a little bit.
Yeah that’s exactly what I have been doing. I have a bag of mixed frozen pineapple,banana, and strawberries on my knee as I write this. My best guess is it is just some over-training stuff, possibly coming from a tight hamstring. It’s on the wrong side to be IT band issues, I’ve had that before and I know how that feels.
Quick update on my miles so far. I’ve done 24 miles over the last couple days. After my last run my right knee has tightened up a bit. It doesn’t hurt much but sort of feels like a bruise on the side of my kneecap. If my kneecap was a clock, it would be sore at 2 o’clock. I decided not to run this morning, just to make sure I don’t injury something but my guess is it’s just an over-training thing where I went from 6 miles a week to 50 miles a week.
Also, I haven’t taken any pictures because my phone is a bastard. In order to use it as an mp3 player while I run I have to use electrical tape and tape the cord to the phone. Otherwise it stops playing every 2 minutes because of static electricity building up while the cord moves or something. I got an app called ‘headphone blocker’ and that seems to help. The only thing worse than no music while running is a song that starts and stops and starts and stops 800 times during your run. Drives me crazy.
I’ll probably get a separate mp3 player for running to solve this problem, but I think it’s safer to have my phone on me in case something should happen, and it feels kinda silly to run with a phone and an mp3 player when the damn phone should do both. /rant
Ohhh but you will, especially if you haven’t done a 50+ mi week in awhile. Mwahaha, you’ll probably hate us all by the end of the week, huh?
Yeah I haven’t done a 50 mile week since fall/early winter last year. After it got super cold and icy I stopped putting down that many miles. Honestly I’m not worried about the miles. The only issue I would have is I don’t know if my knees/hips will be able to take such a fast increase in mileage. I’ve ran into IT band issues before with big increases like this before because my hips get real tight and it starts throwing a wrench into my stride. I guess we’ll see :)
Local grown organic golden delicious apples for 60 cents a pound? Why yes I’ll take a whole bag.
You should take a photo of yourself after each of these runs so we can see how you progressively become more fatigued. :)
Fatigued? What’s that? Never heard of it.
7 Miles, last night, 7 miles this morning. Shooting for 10 tonight after work. The weather has been perfect!
Haha, SOB is at like 4-5,000 ft. So I might die too. :)
Then we both can go out like warriors. I’d rather die running than sitting on the couch eating junk food. /highfive
Duuude, you might want to slow it down a little bit. ;) It looks like you’re in for a pretty heavy mileage week. Please don’t die. hehe.
That’s funny coming from you ariavie warrior princess, you’re running the SOB 50k!! Hopefully one day I will be as fit as you.
