A Couple Shorter Runs Over the Weekend
On Saturday I went for a 14K/8.7M run. I hadn’t run for two days and had a high level of energy, but my legs were stiff as I started out. I took it easy at the beginning and gradually my legs felt better I could pick up the pace.
Sunday afternoon I went for a hilly 7-mile run, running one of the steeper hills on the 50-mile route. I had a strange pain in the tendon area of my right foot and also my right hamstring was a little sore. This has me very concerned with the 50-mile race less then a week away. I spent some extra time stretching after the run and this morning the pain had pretty much disappeared. I have no explanation for the pain, I wish I knew what is causing this.
I am going to move my planned 5-mile run from Monday to Tuesday night and see if a day of rest will help. Maybe I'm just getting paranoid before my race...

Have a great race!

Yes, it is time for those little aches and pains to surface! Take it easy this week and all will be well.

A day of rest can't hurt your body or your psyche. Hopefully it's all just a passing annoyance.
