After three days off and lots of ice on, I went out for a run tonight. My only goal was to go out and run. Speed, time, distance … no goals, just run. I took an easy 2-mile loop, and ran 1.65 miles of it at a 13:19 pace. It didn’t feel that fast, and I didn’t feel that strained until the last little bit, so I’m satisfied.
I’m still having an issue with something behind my right knee. It doesn’t affect the running, but the running no doubt affects it. Not sure what I’ll be doing about that, but this bag of frozen peas is getting quite a workout of its own.
It’s been weird deliberately not running (versus staying in bed thinking about how I ought to be running). I feel “behind”, now … this was supposed to be Week 8 and I should be headed into Week 9. Since I named my run last Sunday W7Day 4, I’ve now re-named it Week 8 Day 1. Which means tonight was D2, and I can run on Saturday and complete my week “on time”. Not that it really matters, but mental games have gotten me this far, why quit now?
And I realized that I’m just 10 days from my 10K. That sure snuck up on me!
