Well last night's run certainly didn't go as planned... without fail when I REALLY need my running app to work it doesn't! I got 21 minutes into my run and realized that it wasn't tracking distance grrr!!! I turned it off and started again hoping it would start working, but I had no such luck. Luckily where it stopped working was where I turned around earlier that morning so I knew I was about 2.1 miles. I kept trucking it out and got to a really pretty spot that I didn't know the path lead to. Even though the scenery was pretty I was feeling YUCKY, the Mexican I had for lunch just wasn't jiving with the run. The path led to the community college here in town so once I hit the end of the path I wussed out and texted the BF to come get me. He was playing golf so I had to wait till he finished to come get me so I did some ab/hip flexor workouts and just enjoyed the evening. It did start getting a little chilly towards the end though!
The outside of my knee also really started bugging me and I don't know what that is all about because it hasn't happened before. I'm hoping it was just some weird tweak because dealing with injuries is no fun! I tried running around the soccer field where I had ended up, but the uneven ground seemed to bug it even more :-( When I went out for my morning run my old blister (that's finally almost healed!) was bugging me a little bit too, and I realized it was the first time since I got it that I hadn't covered it in something, which was another reason I quit early. When I went out for my evening run I tried using the Dr. Scholl's blister protector, but it wasn't quite big enough and it bunched funny. I just don't think they are ment to be used on that part of the foot! I ended up getting ANOTHER small little blister :-( I don't know what the heck is going on! I just got adjusted by the chiro on Friday so that really shouldn't be happening! He also has looked at my shoes and says they are in good shape and shouldn't be giving me blisters so I don't know what the dealio is. My new orthotics came in, but he said to break them in slowly and start with short runs. I am also supposed to be wearing them around when I'm out and about, but I just love my flip flops and haven't been wanting to sport tennis shoes with my outfits! Haha terrible excuse I know! I plan on doing a 4 mile run this afternoon so I am thinking I will try them out, I already have a blister so it can't go much worse than it went without them!
Tomorrow is going to be really TOUGH and I am still really bummed with myself that I didn't train the way I should of. This is supposed to be a fun race, but instead it is going to take every ounce of my energy just to get through it, and I'm really worried I will have to walk. I almost feel like I should just say screw the entry fee and not go... If my running friend hadn't signed up with me I think I would of. It just seems like it's not even worth it to go if I'm not going to be able to run it. I am feeling pretty much like a failure which stinks :-(
In happier news here is a photo dump from the last few days
The bf and I last night he had a lot a little to much to drink last night... sometimes he has a hard time remembering he isn't still in college... he has yet to get out of bed yet today
There's a lot of sleeping going around this house today!:-) He's too cute I just wuv him!
This is what my house looks like right now! Plus there are 3 boxes in my car and the bf's truck is FULL I think we might need a semi to get all these donations down there haha
Happy Memorial day I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!! And wish me luck that I don't die tomorrow!
