Running Log – To Far To Soon
I had planned just yesterday to not go more then 5k until I was 100% again. I quickly forgot that as I made my way out to the hill. I went slow and steady but it was 2.8k there, 2.8k back, and 2.4k on the hill. I should have done that math before I decided to leave. My leg is a bit tender but I am sure if I ice it over the next few … Read entire article »

Running Log – Slow and Steady
It felt great being out running again. I have missed the feeling of propelling forward, heart thumping in my chest, foot steeps on the pavement as you go. I visited a massage therapist the day before this run and she made me hurt in ways I have never really hurt before. At some points I felt like I was going to … Read entire article »

Walking Log – Scotiabank Half Marathon
The clouds were looming pretty ominius this morning when I woke up and got ready to leave. I had a feeling it was going to be cold and rainy so I brought a jacket just in case.

Barefoot Running Log – IT Band
I woke up and my IT Band already hurt. Not sure why must have been how I slept. I shrugged it off and popped an Alieve hoping it would just go away. I went nice and slow and paced myself to ensure I didn’t tweak it and around the 4k mark it didn’t even hurt anymore. It was like the … Read entire article »
