It sucked
It was a miserable run. We were only able to do 12 miles and probably four of those was walking. It’s hot and my knee hurts and my foot hurts and it’s hot and no fun. I’m so ready for some cool autumn wather!
I thought of Runnin Ragged and her fork and nancy and her cold. I reminded myself that I’m in good company. I reminded myself that the marathon is eight weeks away. I reminded myself that I do this for “fun”–crazy. R stayed with me the whole time, though she doesn’t like to run/walk–because it’s harder for her physically. It was important to have her there.
So now I’m watching tennis, eating Advil and elevating my right leg on a pillow. We’ll do a 4 mile recovery run tomorrow and I hope that it’ll be better. That’s all I’ve got.

I am sorry to hear about your run.
I had a crappy run as well, so depressing as a matter of fact that I haven’t been able to put it down on paper/blog.
That was very cool of your friend to stick with you! We all need an “R” in our corner.
Tomorrow is another day, right?

Relief is on the way! It’s 73 and sunny and breezy and NOT humid here today! I opted for yoga and digging holes in the garden today, though. Tomorrow I run.

Hope today’s run went better and that the Advil worked its magic for you.

Hi there. Don’t get too down, there is hope. I am bouncing back from the cold. Everyone keeps reminding me we have ups and downs and that is the nature of it. It’s gonna cool off and you are gonna feel like a new woman. Hang in there.
