Thank you to everyone who weighed in with advice and encouragement after my last post!
Despite the rest day yesterday and diligent icing and rolling, my left leg was not feeling fabulous this morning. As much as I wanted to get one more long run under my belt, I knew the smarter choice was to back off. So instead of 10 miles, I settled for a 10k.
During the first couple of miles, I seriously questioned being out there at all, but it got better around mile 3. Fairly uneventful on the whole, but my knee let me know that 6 was definitely enough for today. So I’ll take it!
Next up – more ice, rolling, and rest, along with my weekly pilates class tomorrow and I’ll try a couple more miles on Sunday.
Enjoy your weekend!
Sounds to be like you are being smart–good girl!
Yes.
Keep the ice a-going.
The foam a-rolling.
The fingers a-crossing.
And that smile on your face a-smiling.
I’m so cheesy!
You are wise to cutback. Your body will thank you. Have a great weekend!
Sounds like a great plan 🙂
Hi MIchelle. Nice to find your blog. Thanks for the the comments. 🙂 Sounds like you are playing things smart here. 😉
I hope your knee is doing better now!
