Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Today's Run
Had a bad weekend from a fitness perspective. Did not run Staruday due to staying up late Friday night reading. Then skipped Sunday so Kim could get soem rest after her own very late night out Saturday night (because inevitably the kids would have woken up 5 minutes after I left & demanded her attention).
So I ran this morning. And I did manage to push to 4 miles. But my leg tightened up after 2 miles or so. So I was having to fight through the pain for the last half of the run. Again, I don't think there is anything damaged in there, it just tightens up really quickly ever since my half marathon.
But my new strategy now is to just push through the tightness when I do run, not too much, but keep going so I can complete my planned distance. And follow up with a much bigger focus on stretching during the day and evenings on the off days. I might even make an appointment with the massage person who comes into the office once a week. My theory is to just stetch the legs back out to where they were before the long race.
