Thank You Lord For A Better Run Today!
January 25, 2010
Was out on the road at 8:30 this morning for my 4 miler. It actually turned out really well. Had the usual scenario, pain in the first mile although noticeably better than Saturday morning and then gradually eased up until by the last mile it was barely noticeable. Feeling pretty tender right now though. Was able to hold a strong pace for the last 3 mile and didn’t have to adjust my stride to accommodate my heel.
The roads are finally clear enough to run on so that gives me a break from the treadmill. The treadmill is more forgiving on the heel though. I have a True treadmill and the deck is adjusted from a firm surface to a softer, more spongy surface and that really helps, but can really tell the difference out on the road.
Tomorrow is weight day and I really don’t like weight training and look at it as a necessary evil. It really does help keep the injuries down. I work on legs more than anything and should do more core work than I do.
Thanks to all on the Loop for the well wishes, prayer and great suggestions. Everyone on the Loop is #1 in my book! What an awesome bunch of runners!
Enjoy every step!
