Trail Running

93 Minute Trail Run, Riverlin St Trails with Contois @ his pace mostly. Maybe 5 minutes of walking scattered throughout to refuel and hydrate.

Also walked a good 2.5 hours in the PM with going to the mall and stuff.

COMMENTS:

General: Felt good to do a workout today... I've been a prisoner in my own body these last couple weeks. Really fell off the wagon. The run was good, and I could've gone longer with more water/food, which makes me happy. At my peak last time of LDR I could go about 2.5 hours comfortably, and I know I could've gone 2 hours today with water and fuel

Nutrition: Awful, and has been for over a week. No excuses, and it's time to get back on track. Today was a good start with the exercise.

Body: Knee is extremely in pain, not sore which scares me. It's honestly never hurt as much as it did today after my run. My right achilles hurts too.

Sleep: 8 hours

Elbow: It's OK. It's been 13 days since I began resting it (12th) and I've definitely noticed improvements but it's still got a long way to go. I'm going to start paying more attention to the healing process by taking more fish oil and icing/heating/massasing it.

Reflections: I'm going to go ahead and not get mad at myself for the last week. I worked out once, and ate shitty all week. But now it's time to get serious because I am not going to DNF this race, and my training needs to be top notch. I need to make sure my knee is good before I run again, because it actually scares me how bad it hurts right now, but other than that I felt good on my feet. I need to get trail running shoes soon.
