Let me interrupt your regularly scheduled training for an injury! Like I said yesterday, I believe a combination of Saturday’s Warrior Dash, my 10 mile bike ride with LOTS of hills on Sunday, and my 2 mile run (it was supposed to be 3 miles) on Tuesday, I have tweaked a muscle in my thigh. I don’t think its a big deal. My mother the RN doesn’t seem to think its more than a strain. So that’s a blessing. But the fact that it hurts (kind of a cramping-type feeling) when I stand up or sit down using that leg, or hurts when I go up stairs and during runs leads me to believe I should take a few days to let it heal. As much as it pains me.
I’m not good at resting. In fact, I kind of suck at it. I think its because its so much harder for me to start back up again, than to just keep going, ya know? But its ok. Because I planned for this. I’m going to Colorado this weekend for a friend’s wedding, and staying a couple of extra days and I knew I wouldn’t be able to fit all of my runs in while I was gone, so I added some cushion time into my Chicago Marathon Training schedule. So I’m good. I’ve got this.
Will someone please remind me of this when I’m freaking out?! 🙂
If the leg feels better, you know I’m going to try and fit a run in tomorrow before I leave tomorrow night! 🙂
Have a great day friends! 🙂
