pain in the ass

yeah, that's what's going on. I think I have a pinched nerve running down my butt. It seems to ache most of the time, and I don't think running is making it worse, so I did a few miles today.

I think I need a shot in my hamstring like I got a few years ago. I should call that doctor...

foot AND stomach

As I wrote on Friday, something was up with my stomach. I had my first normal meal for dinner tonight since then. So I'm exhausted and low energy.

And the change in weather is blowing up my foot/ankle. It hurts more than it has in months.

So it'll be a few more days before I run.

food poisoning?

I'm not quite sure what's going on - I worked at home today and wanted to go running at lunch, then got caught up in a project and couldn't run until 4:30. By then my stomach was bothering me - not sure if it was something I ate, but I got 1.5 miles in and was super nauseous and ended up walking home. I feel like crap now.

humid

The heat finally broke, but wow - it's thick out there. Felt pretty good today. Hoping to go long tomorrow.  (long for me is over 5)

The ups and downs of the mid-workday workout

Treadmill said 3 miles. whatever.

As the graph shows, it was interval day. Which means buckets of sweat. Which means it's a good thing I don't have many meetings this afternoon.

Races get the competitive juices flowing

Ran a 5k this morning with a couple friends. Ended up doing much better than yesterday's run.

felt good :)

I rode my bike to/from the race which was nice too. Kinda getting into the city cycling thing...

moving in the wrong direction

Not sure what's going on here. Beautiful morning. Stomach and hamstrings not feeling great.

I'm running a 5k tomorrow with some friends and will go at their pace. Which these days seems to be my pace too. Need to start doing some speedwork.

some days are just hard

today was just a slog. Gorgeous out. But I felt like I was running through quicksand uphill.
