I went for it, and the verdict is...


My heart and mind are more resilient than my legs. :(

I set out to do a 9 mile loop this morning.  That may have been just a tad ambitious, being that it's only day four post-marathon.  I felt great when I woke up this morning, hardly any soreness in my legs.  So after I got my little girl situated in bed with a show to watch and some fruit juice (she's still sick, ugh!), I told her I'd be back in about an hour and a half and out the door I went.  As soon as I started to run, I felt a pull in both of my hamstrings.  At first, I thought I just needed to warm up.  But after 2 miles, I could barely run.  It felt like my hamstrings were going to rip in half.  I turned around at miles 2.5 and headed back, reaching home at 5.02 miles in just under an hour.  Blech.  Well, at least now I know where I stand.  I need to take a little more time off from running.

On the plus side, my daughter seems to be doing much better this afternoon and I am hopeful that she will be returning to school tomorrow.  Yay for her, and yay for me!  I just may make it to the gym in the morning for spin class and muscle fusion.  I am going through serious spinning withdrawal.  It's very serious.  Really.

    1. Haha, I know! Well, we'll see about Sophie. She didn't stay "feeling well" for very long. I might have to keep her home another day. :(

  2. Well at least you got out there and tried to run! You probably need a good stretch or foam rolling to work your legs back into it.

    1. You're probably right about the foam roller. For some reason I can never remember to do it, but I'm sure it would help.
