As I mentioned yesterday, last night I felt fit enough from my run on Monday to head out for my second straight day.
After about 10 minutes, however, I didn't feel so fit. My legs felt heavy and my whole body felt like it was trying to wade through mud, but I kept on and finished just a little further back from where I did on Monday. The main difference between the two runs was that I felt like I had to expend a lot more effort during this run than the last.
The good news is that I finally figured out my Nike SportBand and was able to get my run uploaded onto the internet.
The bad news is that for some reason, my left shoulder is absolutely killing me right now. It woke me up at around 4:30 and I wasn't able to get back to sleep. Icy Hot and Advil have helped a little, but I'm not sure what's going on with it.
Tonight, so I won't be swinging my arms back-and-forth and so I won't feel like I'm running through mud, I'm just going to ride the exercise bike for a little bit and then get back out on the road tomorrow.
I had read your post about pushing through yesterday and meant to leave a comment regarding my decision to follow your lead for the same reasons. After all, I felt fine yesterday!.
ReplyDeleteBut today? I also experienced sluggishness. It was like running in molasses after a while.
I am amazed at the difference that a day's rest evidently makes!
I sort of experienced the same thing today, when I tried to a second one in the same day. Kinda dumb on my part, I'm not quite to just get out there and run whenever. Boo.
