So had to go into work today and spent the better part of the morning at my desk day dreaming of getting out for my run.
Today called for a 5 mile run. Happy to be in the city of DC as it was a great gorgeous day for running though I had to work . I started feeling some soreness though in my right ankle and it did stymie me from warming up a bit earlier in a run than I am use to. So ended up doing the 5 just under 50 minutes yet running around the Mall is always a plus.
I will ice my ankle and my shins tonight in preparation for my long run tomorrow.
Thursday I was not feeling a 100 percent so I took my rest day that day and did my tempo run yesterday. I did it on the treadmill yet did not do 3.5 miles in the 30 minutes as I had hoped and did about 3.25.
I did feel better on Friday and feel good today besides the sore ankle. I do sometimes take Tylenol or Motrin for pain to get me through a run. I may take some before my long run tomorrow or before I head to bed tonight. I try not to take it too often though and will try R.I.C.E (rest, ice, compression, elevation) before medication. How do you feel about pain meds?
Still consuming less than I am using calorie wise and will do a weight check next weekend at 3 week marker. Appetite is staying steady and cravings are minimal (see Wednesday's
dark chocolate attack). Feeling good and looking forward to my running improving.
Have a great rest of your weekend and chat again on weekend wrap up!
Here's to BQ'ing in 2015,
Yvonne
