OK, I was a big chicken and decided NOT to run in the 19 degree weather to do my hill repeats this morn. I know what you are thinking....she is NOT a die hard runner....yep, you are correct.
Instead, I did put kids to bed, cleaned up the kitchen and hit the treadmill at the gym at 9:30 this evening for my hill repeats. So instead of suffering in the cold wondering if a car is going to hit me I ran on a tread mill, watched the inagural ball on 6 TVs, listened to some entertaining music, and watched a bunch of young people strut.
I ran the marathon in my trail shoes and I'm wondering if that is what caused my pain or if running with a slower person thus shortening my stride did it. I ran in my old street shoes this evening as I didn't want a repeat.
I decided this time not to elevate the treadmill incline over 4.5. I wasn't ready to red line my heart this evening. It was a good workout. |
