I got up and did the level 3 shred, then got dressed and drove my son to seminary. On the drive back home after dropping him off I was very sleepy and the thought occurred to me that maybe I should go back to bed for an hour instead of going for my run. But being the crazy person that I am (and realizing that I wouldn't be able to sleep because of other people in the family making noise), I went for the run.
The very top of my left leg, in both the front and the back, was hurting me and I started out very slowly. I thought about cutting my route down to 4 miles instead of the 6 I had planned, but when I got to about 1 mile and I had to either turn left for the 6 mile route or go straight for the 4 mile right, my leg was feeling better, so I turned left. However, I did dispense with the hill sprints that I've been doing on Mondays recently. I did get a little faster over the course of the run, but never too fast. My leg feels okay now. I'll have to see how it is tomorrow. |
