1 mile brisk walk warm up
all my stretches
3 miles averaging 10min/mile (slower and faster at the beginning and end)
more stretching
And I felt good. No pain. Twinges near the end, but I slowed things back down to Tuesday's pace and they went away. [FORESHADOWING]
I don't know why I'm making a crazy face.
Still making a crazy face.
Thaaaaat's better.
If you think that's scary, check out the spider I almost ran into (then stopped to take a picture with because that's why phones have cameras) during last night's run:
To calm you all back down, here is a picture of my butt.
In a fit of sweaty something I took a series of "flexing for the camera in my sports bra" pictures, but in the light of day I'm too embarrassed to post more than one. I settled on this one, because it shows off my beautiful California tan (I've been to the tanning salon six times this week. Do you think I'm getting ripped off? I'm desperately trying to get that orange glow to fit in with the other ladies down here, but it doesn't seem to be working.)
=========================
So, I woke up this morning at 6:30am. Thank you cat. Thank you neighbor's gardener. Thank you...pain...in my butt?
So now I'm sitting on a heating pad. The dog keeps looking at me like he wants to know why I'm refusing to take him for a walk. It's because I hate him, but shhhhhhh, don't tell him that.
So, pain. My trainer is out sick, so I'm taking another full on rest day. If it goes away today, I'll run tomorrow. Slower. With more stretching. Playing this thing by ear. Well, no, my ear feels fine. Playing this thing by butt.
The mask truly scared me when I scrolled down. But the spider scared me more. THAT IS HUGE (-ly what she said).
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't even make sense.
ReplyDeleteLove the spider picture! Love the sketch drawing. Sorry that pain in the ass is back. :(
ReplyDeleteI like your tummy. Let's trade!
ReplyDeleteI like your dog. I'm stealing him.
I do NOT like that spider. It gives me the heebie jeebies. I don't know even know how to spell that, but whatever - it makes me shudder.
Is that seriously a spider? That is horrendous.
ReplyDeleteSo - I took a boot camp class yesterday, and the instructor looked JUST like you. It was unbelievable. She was awesome too, by the way.
Damn nice flexing!
ReplyDeleteyea that spider is gross and I don't mind spiders.
ReplyDeleteGood plan, playing it by butt. I sure hope the pain goes away soon.
ReplyDeleteUm, you can keep you spider (and your rattlers for that matter) ... that would have freaked me out!
ReplyDeleteThat mask is hideous (I'm surprised we don't have it in our house), and the spider is even worse. They're my biggest fear (well, other than another nasty crash) when mountain biking, because all of the sudden, there's the web and spider in your face, and my bike handling isn't the best to begin with, not to mention when I'm screaming and flailing to get a monster like that away from me.
ReplyDeleteBoooo, on the sore butt.
This post had 100% too few Shakira pictures. The only reason you’re not getting flamed is because of the bra picture. Thin ice, Rose. Thin ice.
ReplyDeleteOh and SUUUUUPER sucks about the pain. SUCK SUCK.
ReplyDeleteThat spider is nasty. And somehow I don't see you with a day-glo orange tan.
ReplyDeleteOh No, that spider would have made me pee my pants. eeeekkkk!
ReplyDeleteThat spider is seriously scary. You are a badass for getting so close for a picture.
ReplyDeleteI hope your butt doesn't hurt today. :)
SICK! SICK! SICK!!! I hate spiders. Why in Gods name do we have spiders!?!?! I would have screamed bloody murder had I ran into that thing. Ugh. I'm going to go throw up now.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo of the spider!
