Last weekend I had a 10 mile run, which was longer than any run I have done since the Chicago Marathon. I got up to 9 miles last time before my hip started to give me problems, but so far so good for now! I haven't had any hip pain in the last week at all.
I have an 11 miler planned for tomorrow and I am already looking forward to it being over. That might sound like I don't enjoy training, but don't get me wrong, I do love running- its just that the long run is so dang hard for me. I always start worrying about it days in advance, and I usually do ok during the run, but I just love the feeling I get afterwards. Minus the aching legs, sore back, and fatigue that sets in.
Other than running, I have been doing some yoga at home at at a new studio that I found. I am trying to get myself into at least 1 class at a bunch of different studios before I beg ask them to hire me.
In other health related news, I got my first chemical peel earlier this week. I have been seeing the same lady for facials for about 6 months now and she is so amazing. I have hyper-pigmentation spots on my face that have bothered me for years, and we are finally now starting to make a difference! I wish I would have taken a "before" picture, but stay tuned for my "after" results in a few weeks- we are doing a cycle of 3 peels.
Hope everyone has a fun, safe, and healthy weekend!
Well done on your runs. I love that feeling after a run too. Hope your hip keeps feeling good. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB on your run girlfriend!! 10 miles is no small thing. And I know what you mean about dreading the long run...my training is starting to pick up now too and I get such anxiety about the long run every week!! It's totally a mental thing. Well I am glad your hip is feeling better sweetie!!!!! That is fantastic news :-)
