RUN: 6.4-some miles at Castlewood, it took over an hour but it's a group trail run so who cares.
I was happy to squeeze this run in as I'd planned to take the rest of the weekend off to visit with family.
I hit two things on this run. The first was the dirt after I tripped over a root and *SMACK* hit the ground on my right side so hard and so fast I couldn't even get my hands under me. The second was my 1000 miles of running mark for 2012! Somewhere around the creek crossing with BE I crossed the benchmark. YAHOO!
The next day my right shoulder started to hurt in a muscle used to raise my arm, and my neck was sore and tight. It took most of the day to realize why--it had to be the fall. So no swimming just yet. And my legs and ankles are beat up. The left knee is popping funny and feels like it's slightly out of place. The left ankle is just a little sore on that lateral spot that's been hurting.
This has me thinking I need to rest more and just get recovered from this big season. The Skippo race is not next weekend, but the next, and between now and then I just need to maintain 20-some miles a week on good surfaces and get recovered!
