RUN 3.3 miles in 32 mins, out of total 5 miles and 60 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles
Was Gonna swim and run this morning, realized on the dog walk (so many plans change for the shorter on these dog walks) that I could run for 1 hour today and swim tomorrow as I'll be driving anyway to get to PT. And I'd rather run. And going to the pool just takes extra time. And BLAH BLAH BLAH excuses.
Took a different route, went south and southeast over Broadway then turned west at where I-55 curls under South City. Then weave-weave through the Chippewa, Keokuk, Osceola (didn't make the connection on Native American names until just now!). Not the best of neighborhoods, trash everywhere. Made me wanna go home and clean.
But until then, I had to finish this run. I did 3' run/ 2' walk segments. I just felt heavy and clumsy. No "spring" in my step. Sluggish. Weighted. Weak. Ugh. Hate to say it, but kinda forced.
Towards the end as I was doing my last run interval I could feel a slightly sore spot under the ball of my right foot toes. Geez don't get a stress fracture on some sesamoid bone or something.
Later on the bike ride to work, I saw a pickup I'd passed miles ago on the run! Recognized it by the crooked "In Memory Of..." sticker plastered on the rear window. Seriously, who puts that stuff on crooked, in trying to respect someone you show lack of respect with a crappy-applied sticker?
I bought carrots last night, first since maybe November. Not as good as I remember.
Oh and my legs are swelling up as the day progresses. Too much sit or stand? I alternate between them. Something else I'm doing or not doing. Really uncomfortable.
