Went into work to take care of some stuff this morning and now that I'm back home, I don't feel like running. Of course the fact that it's raining outside has something to do with my lack of motivation too. I wish I felt more drive to get out there, but since I'm still not technically in "training," I don't mind taking it easy until then. I know I will push myself as much as possible during the training cycle though.
I ran an easy 5.4 miles yesterday at about an 8:23 pace. Felt pretty good, but still have lingering soreness in my piriformis area and behind the knee (outer portion). Not terrible piriformis issues like before, just a hint of it.
Tomorrow I've committed to Ali to run at 5 a.m., rain or shine. Hee hee, I hope I get out there!
It helps to know that elite runners like Nate Pennington took 2 full weeks off after the CIM and that he felt some soreness on his first day running yesterday. I'm not the only one! (Granted I'm no elite, but at least I know there are others feeling my "pain").
Time to pick up the kids from school. Have a great evening!

It's raining here too and snow is on the ground. I was in the mood to run yesterday but the kiddos were not... thus I was forced to stay home. We did do a lot of schooling though, so it was a good day.
It is interesting when the superstars have some of the same aches and pains we do. Guess we all use the same muscles--only some of the elites use them much faster than the rest of us.
Stay healthy with your piriformis.
