So last Sunday I did my long run with Seth. We wanted to stick to a 10:30 pace for the 10 miles. Managed a 9:55. It felt great at the time. I feel like I've been paying for it since though. My right knee was hurting Monday. I stretched, Iced, rested it. Tuesday it felt better so I ran the 3 mile loop for work. It felt ok at the time. Ever since though I have been fighting weird calf pain since. Right now I have it taped. It hurts to walk stairs. I have to force myself to take a rest day and watch all the other runners at work go out. It's frustrating. I need to be healthy though because I have 3 races left this year.
The final training run for Fox Valley is this weekend. I'm excited to see all the runners go out. I may end up just taking it as a rest day. There's 3 weeks left before the race so I have time. I have learned over these 3 years to listen to my body and rest when it hurts. I still can't believe I did my first 5k 3yrs ago. What a crazy journey this has been. I never thought I would like running or be able to run more than a mile. Now my job is to run. Well my part time job.
I almost forgot to post about my last 5k. I ran the Graham's Sundae 5k. I had my fastest 5k ever. I didn't place but I did get ice cream so I call that a win
