Tearing Up The Sand

More catch up... So on Thursday i went and played some beach volleyball for 2 1/2 hrs.. I dont think that was such a wise decision.. It really tore up my knee's and aggravated my shin leg problem.. I wasn't too happy with that.. Even my feet muscles were sore.. Crazy!!

Friday-- Attempted to do my kickmax dvd but about 15 mins into it the power went out so there went that and I had family coming in that day so I had way to much to do so I ended up doing squat..

Saturday-- got up to do my long run but still felt to sore in my leg and knees and thought it would not be good to start a run already hurting so again nothing..

Monday 6th--- Feeling a little better but still sore. Went running anyways.. Leg felt good after the first mile or so but the knee continued to feel bad.. I got in I am guessing 4.45 miles.. I mapped it on map my run and it says 4.25 but I ran it with my new pedometer last week and the same distance said 4.49 and today (going the exact route) I accidentally switched to to km instead of miles and when I calculated it out it said like 3. something which wasn't right. So I am going with what the pedometer said the first time..

Tues 7th---- Kickmax dvd.. Almost made it through all the exercises.. Still cant get through all the lunge switch jump thingys.. Those really kill my legs.. Knee's and leg is still hurting but I dont want to not run either so I am not sure what to do.. I just dont want to have a repeat of last summer with my leg but it's so hard not to do anything.. This is so frustrating.. I would like to know exactly what it is and why it's happening.. Guess I will just watch it..

Jen said...: I bet it was just the sand workout that aggravated it. Give it a bit and I bet you'll be back to normal. Good luck. I still haven't tried the DVD yet. I plan on it tomorrow. I'm a little scared after all your reviews.; July 9, 2009 at 10:24 AM

Why a Running Blog and Why I run.

I chose to start a running blog because I wanted to start keeping a log of my progress with my new found love of running. A friend of mine suggested to start a running blog and I thought what a great idea. Hopefully this will inspire and encourage me to keep improving and to set and reach for higher goals. I am still so new to all this and I am still trying to learn so any help, tips and tricks would be gratefully appreciated. So here I am... I have never been a runner until now. I hated to run growing up. It just plain hurt to run so I never did. Several years and a few surgerys later I decided while out on one of my daily walks around the block to run and see how far I could go. My first time running I went 1 mile and it felt great. By the second week I was up to 2 Miles and still going strong other then a few nagging aches and pains with my knees. From then on I have been hooked. I have come to find that I now love to run. I was meant to run. Of course there are days when I seriously question that statement but I think we all do at some point. There is this feeling you get( A runners high some call it) when running that is an amazing feeling and once you have experienced it you want to continue to experience it. It's when your running and all of a sudden you feel yourself transform as if into a machine. All your muscles are working together as one and you feel strong and powerful and you feel as if you are gliding through the air and the running becomes effortless. It's an amazing feeling that only those who have experienced it can relate. It doesn't happen often but once you experience it you have to have it again. I have loved watching and feeling my body change and transform and become stronger. I am a better mother and wife when I run. You get to experience the outdoors and nature in a whole diffrent light. It's time for just me to do what I want to do and escape from the craziness of life for just a little while to think, ponder, meditate, cry, laugh, sing whatever I am feeling at the time, and I come back exhilaerated, rejuvinated, happier, calmer, and more patient. Of course this is after I recover from the sheer exhaustion. This is why I run!!!
