Running For My Life

My schedule has been goofy this week.  I did a race on Monday (Memorial Day), then normal workouts Tuesday and Wednesday.  But this morning I opted for a longer run (12 miles) because we are leaving for Washington DC early on Saturday morning, meaning no long run that day.  I thought about doing it tomorrow since I would have Saturday off to recuperate, but it’s supposed to storm tonight and tomorrow morning.  So I will do my regularly-scheduled 9-miler tomorrow, and will move it to the treadmill if the weather is bad.

I was experiencing  some pain (and still am) below my left knee on the inside of my leg.  I am not sure which part of the leg that is; it’s slightly below where the shin bone meets the knee.  It’s seems to be muscular pain rather than anything structural, so hopefully it goes away with some massage and stretching.

I also wanted to mention that they are starting a 10K race in my hometown of Wind Lake this September and I have been helping them with the planning.  I ran the course this morning and it is awesome.  It’s one lap around the lake, which coincidentally is almost exactly a 10K.  My GPS showed 6.15 miles, so just a hare under a 10K.  I usually don’t run that way (I stick to the gravel running paths), but I am going to make a point to run around the lake at least once a week until the race.  Maybe I’ll do my tempo runs on that course.
