Today: I ran 11 miles, outdoors. In 2 hours 10 minutes and 06 seconds. In the humidity.
I had planned on just ten, but had a little boost at 9 miles from some Shot Bloks I ate so when I hit ten miles, I kept going. However, at around 10.5 miles my hamstrings, right knee, and calves began giving me grief. I used the mantra from this poster to keep going, knowing that if the pain ever became enough to alter my gait (not just slow it) I would stop. Luckily, the pain didn't get to that point and I was able to finish the full eleven miles. YAY!!!
At the end of the run, all I wanted to do was rip off the CEP compression calve sleeves and pull the compression short cuffs down below my knee. It felt so good doing that. I loved the support I got during the run, and my IT band didn't hurt during the run, but I do suspect my sleeves are too small. I was on the middle in sizing and my compression socks are a size larger. I will try them instead next time.
Random thoughts while running:
- I wonder if I will get in trouble if I run down that private industry alley and take a photo of that switching engine sitting on the tracks.
- I should have clipped my toenails.
- Why am I running with a headache? Couldn't this have waited another day?
- I love iHeart radio CLASSIC ROCK station
- Do people in these condos hate all us runners passing their windows?
- YAY! Bathroom!
- Why is that man sitting in his car parked in front of the women's bathroom?
- I hate out-and-back repeats - this is my 4th time on this ugly section of trail.
- I love out-and-back repeats - I get to see the jetty view twice!
- I need more hills. (YES!!! I actually thought that!!!!)
- YAY!! Another open bathroom!
- Did I shave my legs last night?
Here are a few shots from my run today.
Ran along this stretch of sand for quite a while.
The water was very low today.
The jetty! My favorite part of this trail.
I stopped here to take the gravel and rocks out of my shoes.
I always liked this part of the trail.
This is me at the 11th mile back at Marine Park ;)

I LOVE random thoughts section!!!! How did you remember them? I always have those, then forget what they were when I get the time to blog. Man parked out in front of womens restroom (creepy). The trail repeat was FUNNY! I literally LOLed. That pic with the trees and the clouds AWESOME! And congratulations on your improvement! You should be featured in Women's running!
ReplyDeleteJolene, I had over 2 hours of thinking and I was bummed I forgot so many more. The guy WAS creepy but COULD have been totally harmless. I didn't take a chance. When I ran up to the bathroom and saw him in his car. we made eye contact. He waved at me. I waved back and did a u-turn. Maybe he had a wife who was in there. I don't know. But as a lone runner in a wooded part of the park, I suddenly didn't have to go and could hold it to the next stop.
ReplyDeleteAs a note - I remembered this morning that the thought about shaving my legs was when I was wondering what the paramedics would find if I collapsed. ;)
I was heartbroken because I had a very small penis, not nice to satisfy a woman, I had so many relationships cut off because of my situation, I have used so many products which i found online but none could offer me the help I searched for. I saw some comments about this specialist called Dr Moses Buba and decided to email him at buba.herbalmiraclemedicine@gmail.com so I decided to give his herbal product a try. i emailed him and he got back to me, he gave me some comforting words with his herbal pills for Penis Enlargement, Within 14 days of it, i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, " and now it just 2 weeks of using his products my penis is about 9 inches longer and i am so happy, contact DR Moses Buba now via email buba.herbalmiraclemmedicine@gmail.com or his Whatsapp number +2349060529305 or call me for more details +15019914802 . may God reward you for your good work.
