Aching Legs

Spinning Boris was the second movie I watched on the trainer last night.

Not a bad movie, with a few good lines, though it did have Jeff Goldblum. The second trainer session was rougher than the first. My legs were pretty tired to start with and I didn't do any drills. So an hour seemed kind of long and my legs were a little slow, exhausted. And then my power meter kept going in and out, so it was hard to do a nice, good workout.

I think it was around 370kJ, 15 miles, averaging 108W.

And then today I did a long run. Was planning on getting up and doing it before I had to go to the dentist, but I didn't wake up until 8:45, so oh well.

7.5 miles, around 8 minute pace. Except it was probably a tiny bit slower (like 8-8:15) and, since I don't really know distances and was judging by time, maybe a little shorter.

But I think that's probably ok, especially in base and especially since I'm trying to rehab back into running. It's hard building back up, without hurting my hip again or anything else, and keeping some speed. Right now, I just kinda shuffle through runs. And my hip hasn't been too bad, but my left knee has been acting up alot. I went to the physical therapist and he did a bunch of stuff and said it was twisted and i needed to stretch and stuff. But it's still hurting. When I bike, it's like a sharp pain under. And after running today (and towards the end of the run) my whole left knee and lef just ached. Sitting in a meeting this afternoon, my whole left leg just ached, like I had run much much longer.

I don't know if I'm ready to race anytime really soon.
