| | 35:14 - OUCH! Pain in left knee, left quad, left ham. Blisters ok for the most part. Right top of foot killing.......perhaps the most disgusting 4 miles I have ever run. Oh well, got it done. | | Comments(1) |

Very bad day......long day at work, joints are like rusty hinges. Went to the doctor today where I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. Got inhaler and tried it out, but can't stop the coughing and general tightness in my chest. I want to run so bad, but feel like I need to listen to my body, so I'll adjust my schedule this week and try to get miles the best I can. | | Comments(4) |

24:32 - I'm not sure what is happening, but my body is literally falling apart. The asthma didn't help; doctor said it may take a few days for the inhaler to work......I warmed up, or tried to at least, then stretched. Pain in my left knee was so bad, I started to limp and favor that side which made the right leg/foot start to hurt, so I did the worst......I WALKED! YUCKKKKKK!!!! I stopped the Garmin because I just couldn't stand to see the 14 minute pace going on. Tried to limp/run home as best I could and finished the 3 miles very sad. I iced the knee, then back of knee, then the other knee and feel a bit better. We'll see what tomorrow brings. | | Comments(22) |

So, while I'm waiting for the asthma inhaler to kick in, I thought I'd change it up a bit and warm up with the bike, then see how I feel. Went 3.32 miles, then ran 2.1 around the high school track in the dark, (needed a break from the pavement - and it was a goooood choice!), then biked around for another 2.59 for a grand total of 8 miles of workout. I really pushed it on the bike because that doesn't hurt my knees, joints or even muscles.... just a very good burn! Supposed to run 7 today and 15 tomorrow so we'll see how it goes!! | | Comments(1) |

| | Had my wife drop me off past the Mt. Timp. temple so I could run home. I ran on the canal road (dirt) which was nice on my aching joints/knees, etc. Had to walk a couple of times, but totalled 9 miles to our house. Watered my legs off with the hose so I felt one tenth of what an ice bath must feel like :) But, I wasn't in too much pain after so maybe there's something to it....... Went out later and biked 6, then tried to go out running some more, but could only manage another half mile and figured I better not push it. I am still feeling the effects of the Hobble Creek half - I think I did something to my groin, which affects my stride, which starts to bother the knee..... (man, I should be a doctor). Speaking of, I need to get back to him and try something else cause the coughing won't stop. The inhaler isn't working. I'm a wreck.......CALGON......take me away!!!!!!!! | | Add Comment |
