Tonight’s run seemed like a real suck fest. My left hamstring was sore. I really should have foam rolled last night, but I was so wiped out from the track workout I just looked at it and it seemed like a monumental effort to even try and foam roll. And tonight I kept checking my cadence and couldn’t seem to get it up to 22 although I might have been missing that first step between looking at my watch and counting. I kept hitting 20 or 21 steps on one foot. And I really felt that track workout and this run in my legs at the end. It was supposed to be a strength run. I’m guessing that means a run that is followed by speed intervals the day before so it helps build your endurance and strength? I cut it a little short—4.25 miles. 47.30. Of course, the pace was 11:18 and I thought “what the hell?” I thought it was an awful run. Go figure. T
Oh, and I think I got heckled for the first time ever. I heard these kids yelling “workin’!” and someone said “workin’ girl!” and I looked over and there was a car of guys with this song playing and the lyrics were ”workin’, workin” and the guys were looking at me and going “workin’.” Uh, yeah, sure, okay? And then I thought “did I just have the first time I ever got heckled as a runner?” A rite of passage. Although no one had better throw anything at me because they may end up with it thrown back at them.
