I had an over-ambitious week , a week ago. I felt the twinges of over training last week and when my area was hit with its first seasonal North-Eastern storm I took advantage of it and did a strength workout rather than my long run. I'm aiming for this week to be better but I know my time demands are big for the next two weeks so I'll try not to beat myself up about any missed runs, if I can help it. I also need to remember to use my treadmill if I can't get outside.
My knee has been giving twinges of pain lately, especially in the mornings. I've gone back to using BioFreeze which helps a lot. Usually by the end of the work day my legs feel good enough to run when I throw that on in the early morning. I still don't see early morning runs happening though when its still the my most painful part of my day. I can handle strength workouts with no issue but to run-well, that still sounds pretty cray-cray.
At this moment though I'm debating. Do I re-do last week's training plan since I didn't finish it with my long run, or bag it and move on to this week where it is a scale back week and even the long run isn't as long. Hmmmm. The type-A part of me wants to check-off last week when I've actually completed all of it, but the more play-it-safe side of me says to move on. Oh my, runner problems ;-)
