My workout plan: run until I can't breath any more, then walk until I can. Rinse. Repeat.My lungs were burning.
I thought I would throw up.
But I ran most of it. Oh yes, I did.
I felt my IT Band a bit towards the end, when I was running downhill. Then it was dark, and so I stopped, and walked home.
Then I did the burny stretch that my physical therapist showed me, felt better.
I ran, actually ran, at a faster pace than I did a few days ago.
I'm back. I can run.
[okay, with conviction, now...]
I'M BACK. AND I CAN RUN.
...
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love a "techy" chick!
Very good!
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!! That's great!!! I know that feeling!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Misty! Gotta start somewhere..
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE BACK! AND YOU CAN RUN! Yay! What a great day!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I thought the graph said 24 miles. I had to blow it up for these old eyes to see the decimal point. Your running sounds like my running. Specially when it comes to those long runs. Glad to hear the run is on.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was warmer than that bike ride too. :)
You go girl.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if anybody here has tried the trigger point technology for IT Band pain? I haven't but have heard it's great!?
Run Misty Run!!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the run and getting back out there!
ReplyDeleteYou're baaaaack! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
And LOVE the puffer fish in the previous blog - exactly how I feel the day after my carb binges (like tonight's)
So are you all loving the new house?
What stretch are you doing for your IT Band? Mine are hit or miss, and I've yet to find a really great stretch from them...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being back! The success of running after a break is pretty sweet.
