"I measure what's going on and I adapt to it. I try to get my ego out of the way." - Martin Zweig
Ahhh... what a long day... As I pulled out of Winsor at 7 PM I realized I had been doing work-related things for TWELVE AND A HALF HOURS! Both Mid 1 and Mid 2 had back to back away games at Thayer School, which, with traffic, took incredibly longer to get to and from than it should have. Both teams lost, but put up a good fight.
I came back determined to make it to the gym even though I've been fighting one of my many recent headaches. It actually seemed to disappear while I was running, and now it's back again. I went straight to the treadmill this time as it was getting late by the time I got there, I didn't want to waste whatever energy I had left, and my bum bones still hurt from that bike!
I think I jinxed myself earlier when I said that 4 mile runs were beginning to seem SO easy and short. Short for someone who's running them in under 35 minutes with no injury! The first mile was more of a struggle than ever. My muscles felt really tight. It's hard because when I go slower, even though it's all I can do at this point, my legs feel heavier and it ends up keeping me on the treadmill for a longer amount of time. At this point, the time doesn't bother me as much because I need to build up that endurance again. But it's just SO much easier to pick up the pace. I did the second half at at least 6 mph, which I felt good about.
I think I'm going to have the athletic trainer at school take a look at my foot...maybe she can give me some sort of treatments during the afternoons now that I'll be free from practice. Tomorrow I'm playing in the Varisty/Faculty game, which I'm excited about, but hope I listen to my limits. I just have too big of an ego haha I don't want people thinking I can't handle something, or that I'm not a good athlete.
This headache is taking over my soul, I think I need to go sleep it off. G'night!
