I got my 3 mile training run in today and man it wasn't pretty at all! Loki has been very energetic so I thought hey I am going to try to take him with me for my 3 miles and see how he does. We headed out and Loki is still very unsure of going very far from home. He has walked to the DS1 school and back twice but never anywhere else so when I turned a different corner he didn't like it. We got to a point where he would go no further. We turned around to head home and he wanted to sprint home. We took off running! He is very fast but then he realizes he can't run anymore and lays down, LOL! Then as much as this little puppy wants to run I made him slow down so he could make it home with out stopping again. We get home and only .69 of a mile done. I thought for sure we had gone further than that but my garmin told me otherwise.
I decided to finish my miles on the treadmill and I sucked today. I was about to get a mile in on the treadmill keeping a pretty good time and then I started to hurt. My left shin splint and my hips. What the crap? So I slowed it way down. I tried to do some running intervals but each one was met with pain. I wondered if I had pushed to hard when I first got on the treadmill? Or Maybe it has to do w/ my new blood pressure meds and the fact that they are a diuretic and I am dehydrated??? Regardless of why, it was a day where I couldn't run so I walked. I got my miles in but I felt like I am back to square one and it is C25K all over again. I am out of practice and my muscles are just not there. About a half hour to an hour after any run I start feeling motivated like I can do this whole running thing. Like I said I enjoy running, when I am done!
