Weather: Fair, 57°F, 100% Humidity, Wind: From SSW @ 4 mph; feels like 57°F.Pace: 7:36 min/mile
Course: A slightly longer loop around the 'hood.
I continue to find myself eating quite a bit over the last few days, likely the result of some nutritional deprivation... hopefully after "things" (activity levels, dietary choices, etceteras) even out normalize over the next few days, I will return to the balance I had prior to this week.
It was absolutely necessary that I wake up a little earlier this morning if I had any hopes of getting my run in as it looks (and feels) like it is going to be a hot one today!Uh-oh.
After finishing up (what felt like a very good run) I think I may want to "dial it (the pace)" back a little. With about a half-mile remaining and during the time immediately following, the inside of my right thigh muscle(?) began to ache a little, especially when putting weight on it, as in when I walk. Judging from the Runner's World Runner's Body Tool, it could be a micro tear in my quadriceps tendon, which "leads to inflammation and pain." I'll definitely keep an eye on it and adjust accordingly... even if it means a short layoff to "rest" it.
Honestly, I do hope I am being an alarmist about the whole thing though, and will exercise caution... along(-ish) rest looks to be in order.
Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
