It's been a while since my last blog. Why? I'm not really sure. Yes, I am busy. Yes, I continue to work-out, eat healthy, train, etc. Just, not feeling the bloggin' thing lately. Sorry!
However, yesterday I had a 10 mile training run with my lovely husband and Coach Nichols. And let me just say this.... every bit of it hurt like hell. It was DEFINITELY not one of my better running days. This is the part of running, I hate: the bad run days! Troy and I ran 10 miles last Sunday in wind, clouds, rain, and sleet and I could have easily gone 13.1 that day. However, yesterday, as we ran through a beautiful park, with wonderful trails and plenty of sunshine, I was over it by mile 3. My legs felt like tree trunks, the back of my neck was on fire and this weird pain I get in my shoulder blades was back. Troy informs we that my should blades hurt because "I don't keep my paws up when I run and thus, I am always slouched over." Whatever, either way, they hurt... A LOT!
I finished 7 miles and told Troy and Nichols I was done. But, then pulled my act together (a bit), agreed to another 3 mile path and about 1 mile in had a mental meltdown in the woods. Troy endured the brunt of it. But, I was SOOOOO MAD at myself, because for the last 4 Sundays I have been doing so well on my long-runs - both physically and mentally. Clearly, my record was broken yesterday.
On the way home, Troy was quite happy to purchase his first ice-cream cone of the season. Who does that? Gets ice-cream after a 10 miler and right before a delicious healthy pasta-bake dinner I had waiting at home? Troy does that.
Anyways, I mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy have treated myself to a baby vanilla with sprinkles.
Dinner was yummy! Score for me!
Today, I am resting. Tomorrow, back at it.
