Long Day Back in the Real World
Yeah, it was a rude wake up call when the alarm went off this morning. If it wasn't for Ophelia was rubbing against my hand begging for attention, I could have easily slept for a few more hours. But alas, some bread must be won, so we and the kitties can fuel our healthy appetites. Anyhow, my workout plans were once again foiled by a co-worker who arrives late or calls in sick at least once a week. Whenever he does, I usually end up working a 11-12 hour day to back him up. As a result, I didn't have time to both lift and run. Running *always* takes priority over other workouts. R. and I must have spent the first ten minutes chasing each other down the trail trying to goose each other. He started it, but I wasn't going to let him have the last pinch. My legs were a wee bit sore from the speed at the end of my long run yesterday, but they gradually loosened up enough to get good turnover and strides. I ran for 70 minutes and felt marvelous. My piriformis and hamstring are still issues, but today they only bothered me when I wasn't running. I'm getting a massage later this week, which I hope will help.
