I don't know what it is. Maybe my sneakers aren't broken in. Maybe I need inserts. Maybe I really just need to toughen up my shins. But my feet are killing me, and my lower legs aren't so happy either.
I decided to nix my Friday afternoon arc session, seeing as last Saturday I only made it 10 minutes before I peaced out on the deal. I just can't deal with the pain of that machine right now, when all I need to do to stop it is turn it off and walk away. At least with the run I'm going to have to, at minumum, walk until I get back to my car or front door, and, on top of that, I get a lovely dose of nature.
But still. Ouch!
My soreness level yesterday, Thursday, also impacted my decision to spread my three days of running over Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday, instead of Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. My lower body was pleasantly achy. I did a good job beating it into shape this week. Cycling stays on Monday and Wednesday. The lower body aches highlight how little I'm doing for my upper body, though. I still need to sandwich in that yoga and strength routine time. I know I can do it! Now I just need to do it!
Anyways, Thursdays are a pretty busy day for me anyway, so I probably would have had a hard time jamming a run session in.
I had a hard time with it today, and my Fridays aren't that busy! Thirty minutes of fresh air was a nice way to end the productive part of my work week. I'm gonna label that as an achievement, too, just because I can.
My diet may not be going well (I ate a pint of ice cream last night by accident) but at least I'm working out.
