Exhausted

This morning when I woke up, I was not nearly as motivated to get out of bed as yesterday. My quads and shins were killing me from running yesterday. I knew I had to get out of bed at some point, and I don’t like running outside late in the day. So, I got up, and went for my run. It wasn’t easy at all. It probably will take some time for me to get into the swing of things.

Start: 7:29am
Duration: 36min 46sec
Mileage: 2.60mi
Fastest mile thus far: 13min 24sec


The good thing about today was that I didn’t feel nearly as sick afterwards as I did yesterday. I didn’t have extremely bad side pains either. Progress? I sure hope so. My plan is to run 6 days a week and give myself Sunday off. But right now, I think I might go back to bed for an hour or so. Lesson learned: start going to bed earlier! Going to bed at midnight is not enough sleep for me when I am up running by 7:30am.
I have horrible quad and shin pains from running up and down hills in my development. Does anyone have any good stretching techniques?

Random side note… I had a dream I was dating Eric Northman from True Blood.
Another reason why waking up this morning was so difficult!
