Total Miles for April ~ 59½
Total Miles for 2011 ~ 190¾
A chest cold (that lasted WAY too long) and vacationing at 9,000 ft cut into the miles this month. But almost 60 miles is still pretty good. There are 15 days left until the Cleveland 10K. What started out as an easy race has suddenly started looming larger than originally thought. I'm nervous that I won't run my best ~ I'm pushing hurting legs to keep racking up the miles. Something funny's going on with my right quad ~ it's a moving pain from my hip to my knee. Feels like muscle ache so I'm medicating and running. It's putting a little bit of a hitch to my stride ~ and I'm really working on focusing on form. It doesn't hurt more when I run and it's not stopping me, but it is slowing my pace. Then there's my left foot. Right in the middle of the thing ~ of course, I fear it's a broken bone...but there's no swelling or lack of mobility, just a pain.
I think 2011 is the year of whining.
