CIM Training Week 2, Day 7: 11.1 miles
Ow. Owie, ow, ow, OW! OUCH! I'm sore!
I expected to be sore, I just needed a chance to whine. Tomorrow's rest day though, and my quads & calves will be thanking me profusely, I'm sure.
The plan was for 12 miles today, but somehow I took a wrong turn and it ended up being a whole lot less. In fact, I had to backtrack a bit just to make it 11, if I'd gone straight home it would have been more like 10.5.
I ran around the airport this time around instead of taking the railroad track shortcut in order to avoid running on the railroad ties. Mile 2 was long because of stopping to take pictures of that jerk Furneaux Road. May my record of its existence put it in its place!
Around 2.5 miles, a loose dog ran with me for a while. I'm not sure what he was trying to do, but I talked to him for a bit. At 3.5, a little kid was in his yard, behind a chain link fence. As I ran by, he said, "Did you know I can run fast?!?!" I said, "No I didn't." He said, "Watch!" and ran across the yard. "Wow, you ARE fast!" I responded. Cute!
I felt really good the first 5 or 6 miles. After that, my calves started screaming at me, but I pushed on. I realized the wrong turn when I could actually see my housing development from the run, only about 3 miles away. At that point I knew it wouldn't finish at 12 miles, so I kept going past my house to complete the last mile.

Then this evening, I was getting out of the car, stepped down and my ankle rolled to the side. My first thought was, "Oh no!" Then I realized I wasn't in pain.
No ankle pain is a very good thing! The blue you see is KT Tape.
