Time to Find the Big Girl Panties..and Suck it up!

Sport
  • Walking
  • 20m

Iced/heat the back/hip last night. Pain is across lower back and down into my right hip (or at least that is how it feels) so I am going to try to stretch a bit more in the hip area, ice and heat when I can (last night was more than 10min/10min each as I fell asleep for a bit in each set) :) and I also started taking some Naproxen 2x a day to see if it can help.

Can feel it yet this am. Called the dr yesterday and they can't get me in until the 17th of June. Gotta love base doctors. They did tell me they could refer me off base and I could pay my $12 and then have the dr visit on base in a month as a follow up. If it doesn't get better soon - I will have to do that. It didn't hurt Mon when I ran - mostly I feel it when I sit for long periods of time.

Need to run - got races Registered for which feels really good. Need to get better so I can do those things.

Did a bit of cleaning in the front flower bed and about half was sitting but could barely stand up straight when I was done. Not sure that is the best idea.

Did a nice slow walk this evening after dinner out (bad choices) with hubby.

2.5 mile run turned into a 2.5 mile walk - lower back is NOT pleased with me today.

bike and strength on tap today. First - grocery store.

 

Nothing got done. Got off work at 9pm and just didn't feel like doing it then. Need to do morning workouts otherwise there is a good chance they won't get done. :(

Run
  • 26m 31s
  • 2.50 miles
  • 10m 36s /Mi
Ran the whole thing and it didn't get hard until the last .5 miles. The neighbor girl was out and hollared something so I paused the garmin long enough to hear her and then get back going. She is 8 and likes to just chat about nothing. Felt good to finish it. Legs weren't sure they wanted to loosen up so I slowed it down a bit and kept going. One foot in front of the other. :)

Found another mud run to do next Sunday - it benefits the local animal shelter, and a couple animal rescues so how can I not. It is also within 30 min of home. And it has a water slide obstacle - HOW FUN!!!

Off Day today - going to the neighbors for some food and beverages later.

Gun time is listed for yesterday at 1:03. Not sure what happened to chip time since we all had chips but I know last year the chips weren't working. This year I doubt they were since they had a guy at the end manually entering your number as you read it off to him. Not sure how accurate it was but I will take that.

Run
  • 1h 03m 36s
  • 3.14 miles
  • 20m 15s /Mi

We made it - it took us over an hour to do it but we made it - the rains all day and all night yesterday made some of the obstacles not the safest. Ground was either covered in deep hoof prints from cows or they had plowed it so it was uneven. We walked a majority of it to save our legs - we saw one girl who I think they called EMTs for that they were hoping didn't break her ankle and a girl toward the end that had a major limp. We didn't need that and wasn't in a hurry - my neighbor Jean who did it with me hasn't run in years so it was nice to get her out. She has been stressed with work so it was nice to see her smile again and she enjoyed it. I am officially a DIRRRRTTYY GIRL!

 

Getting ready to head North for the race here in about 30 min. We have had rain all night so I am not sure what to expect today except MUD! Dirty 30 here we come!
