Did you miss me???
I feel like it's been forever since I've posted...or run at all for that matter ;) It's only been 8 days since my last run (besides today) and I was starting to get concerned about myself since it seemed like I lost all desire and motivation to run at all. It seems like every time I miss a scheduled run, it's easy to miss the next one....and the next one....BUT in my own defense, the weather has been pure crap outside. I do not like to run in the wind and it's pretty easy to convince myself to NOT go out under those conditions. I know...I do own a treadmill in my garage. The thought of getting on that damn thing and running for 30 minutes staring at a wall makes me want to scream! I need to get husband to install a TV in front of it so I can watch Jersey Shore while doing something worthwhile so I don't feel so bad wasting 30 minutes of my life each week LOL!!
I've been getting my stupid leg pains again, which is actually the REAL reason why I gave myself a break...well, partly the reason. On my last attempt to do my run, I had a sharp pain in my right knee and my left calf & ankle were feeling all weird. I wasn't consistent with the foam roller either, so that didn't help matters. After a weeks break though, I was stressing about getting back on the road. I went to the gym and did a super easy 2 miles just to get my body moving again and it felt fabulous! Sometimes I don't realize how much I miss moving my body until I start doing it again after a break. Going for 5 miles tomorrow afternoon...although it's supposed to rain on & off all day. As long as it's not windy, I will plan on heading out anyways.
