I just pulled my hip flexor last week, so I wasn't planning on going too hard, just a comfortably paced 10 miles. But I've also been trying to gain confidence in my running, and I doubted that a slow run would do as good a job as a fast paced run would. For me, the first few miles are always the hardest-- I'm a true distance runner. Once I got about four miles in though, I was feeling a lot better. The only problem was that my hip flexor/groin and my foot (that's a new spot for me, probably because I was altering my gait for my hip flexor pain) were starting to ache, so I had to stop a good five times throughout the run for a quick stretch. Other than that, I had an enjoyable run and gained a great amount of confidence. It was about 50 degrees out too, so the weather was just about perfect and the water was gorgeous to watch as I ran by.
I just got home, and am now pooped out in the basement with two bags of frozen veggies: one for my groin and the other for my foot. However, one of the bags was open, so frozen corn got all over the place. I'm sure I look like a freak with my feet propped up on the wall, veggies in my pants, and icy corn puddled around me.... Happy Presidents Day! I hope you take joy in the simple pleasures of the day, like I have. I'm so grateful for just a simple day. Nothing about today is extraordinary, and it doesn't have to be. God made it just right, and I am so thankful that he does that day after day of my life.
