LONG RUN THROUGH DB

After lunch, I was trying to motivate to write that letter to the endodontist, but instead, I just worked on my EDD form.  I sat around, washed some dishes and basically tried to relax before I got on the road.

Today, I decided to run my 8.5 miles on the road instead of the track at Lorbeer.  I wanted to see how it felt and it turned out much better than I thought.  I was a little worried about the length, but I ran slow and stopped at some lights.  But I did try to run it all the way through and the tough part wasn't the huffing and puffing.  I never felt out of breath.

What was tough at the end was the pain in the knees.  It's such a repetitive motion that when the legs don't get a chance to stretch out or to bend, it's just stressing the same spot the whole time.  That's the toughest part about it all and I worry that I'm doing damage over the long run.  But the way I look at it, people run way more than me and they are just fine so what's the big deal?

After, I just iced my feet and took a shower.  I didn't hand out any candy this year because I was too lazy and tired to go to the store to buy candy.  So I just kept the lights off and no one came through.  The rest of the time I just watched tv and ate snacks.
