On Tuesday, I ran 4.5 miles and tried to keep my pace at 80%. It was a good run and early in the morning, which I love because of the stars and crisp air. My knee felt ok until the last mile and then was hurting a little. I stretched and iced hoping to speed the recovery.
I caught my little one's cold this week and feel pretty yucky. I'm run down and tired of my foot, lower leg and knee hurting. I'm icing my knee now and stretching whenever I get a chance. I decided to take today off from running and just let my body have a little more rest. I know, weak hua!
I'm gearing myself up for Saturday and was thinking about running from my house to Veterans Park and back. I don't have anyone to run with anyway and this would save me the drive. Google is showing my front door to the Veterans Park is just over 9 miles, so I think that would be a good way to do it. I can use the water stations at Glenwood and at Veterans, and then have my own water if needed!
I think I'll take some Ibuprofen for the next couple of days to get rid of the inflammation.
On a final note, the following video felt appropriate when reflecting back 7 years ago today, September 11th, 2001. Peace!

Hey Ms Melissa... how frustrating this must be for you. Your body is obviously tired... hence the catching the cold, feeling the pains, etc. This is the time in the training that it usually happens due to the physical and mental stresses of training.
Totally up to you if you want to run long from your house. I know how frustrating that can be to run alone. The plan for Saturday is this: Scott, Andrea, you and anyone else wanting to go 18 or over will be running the Barber Loop. Liz, Dave, and Myself... and maybe Brittany will race at Julia Davis Park and then hook up with you guys as you're on your way back... that's the plan anyway... We may not see you if you are running on the other side, but I can see why you'd want to run from home! I'm kinda like that too. I enjoy a destination! Whatever you decide... let us know how you are doing.
Monica
