20 min warm-up on the elliptical, went home and heated the leg for 10 min and then jogged 5 miles. 4 by myself and 1 with Izzy. My leg felt better today but it is still just an awkward lingering pain like I can't fully extend my right leg and couldn't run faster than an 8 min pace if I was being chased by a bear! Fortunately I can still out run most of the horses, goats, & llama's I encounter along my loop and I'm incredibly content with running as slow as I need to for as long as I need to.
I have no idea how I ran a sub-7 pace for 3 hours just 10 days ago.
PM: Josse massaged and scraped my leg really good for me after work today. I totally owe her because I feel so much better! I still believe this weird pain although noticable most in my outer knee stems from my calf. I jogged for 20 minutes tonight with the pup and almost felt normal. It felt so nice to run pain free that I wanted to keep going but luckily Izzy completely tuckers out after 2 miles and it was a two a day for the poor pup with the 1 mile this am. :) Still some little niggles but no pain! |
