There’s a reason why one should write up their long runs to their training log the day of that run: the experience is fresher, the blister(s) haven’t healed, but then again the muscles aren’t sore. Why even log runs? For posterity \ud83d\ude09 That and I’ve definitely used my past logs as an indicator of my fitness (or lack thereof) at that point in time, especially if it was leading up to a race. I also figured that my left knee pain began around September ’09; I wouldn’t have remembered that if I didn’t write it down. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Anyway, the run on Saturday was essentially a car crash — not a 3-car pile-up or anything disastrous or even a fender bender — I guess (in hindsight) it’s more like a love tap. Still… >_<<\/p>\n
The night before wasn’t bad, actually as I was able to have my pasta dinner (albeit, I didn’t begin carbo-loading on Wednesday). Which makes Saturday morning even more odd: I had some really bad tummy pains and literally spent more than a few minutes in el banyo<\/em> (TMI). I attribute it now to some tight pants and not wearing my long jammies that evening. I guess I have such sensitive tummy that a little exposure to cold messed with everything else. >_<<\/p>\n When I finally got started on my running, I actually felt great. That was, until I got to around mile 5 (or thereabouts) when I knew I was getting a blister under my right arch, which is ironic cos I purposely placed some blister pads over the part where I thought I was getting a blister and that, I suppose, harmed it even more.<\/p>\n A few gruelling miles later, I completed my run despite the inch-large blister that had already formed under my arch.<\/p>\n Other pains to note: left knee. Ugh. I might need to have this checked after the San Diego marathon. I know I should get it checked sooner, but I’m afraid to find out what they find.
