Who else is enjoying those evening runs?
Monday night me and my son who is 8 walked to our local elementary school and got a run in. I was planning on going alone, but he came out dressed and ready to go. (minus a t-shirt). He thinks he is pretty cool running without one.
How awesome does he look while running?! That HAIR!!! I told him to just run and not wait up for me. Since my knee injury I have been taking it pretty slow. I do run 1 song, walk half or run 2 songs walk half. Depends on my mood at this point. Plus I think I am mentally worried the pain will creep up at any moment. I hope I am not the only runner who has dealt with an injury and worrying that it will come back any minute. It consumes my brain sometimes while running and it's pretty annoying. I turn up the music to drown out the voices that make me worry.
I ran 3.5 miles!! I made it to 3 miles with no pain. After that, it was just a dull ache. Being a runner, I can't stop at 3.33 miles. I have to make it to the halfway point. I'm sure you all agree. My pace was pretty awesome too! I didn't expect to run 10-11 minute miles. Not at all. I'll surely take it!
It felt so good to make it that far pain free! I needed that release! It was my best run so far this year.
Kaden ran about 4 miles so I was pretty proud of him. I love that my children enjoy running.
We walked home and I iced my knees right away. The pain (or ache I should say), was barely there. Icing never hurts. So I got to relax while my fireman finished up dinner. Yes, I am a lucky gal to have a husband who does the cooking while I run!
On another note, I love my Brooks. They look so pretty!!
