Ran 3 miles Thursday night. My legs felt like lead that day and I think it's because I didn't drink enough after my 5 mile run the day before. I rested Friday and was planning to do my long run Saturday. I slept horribly that night so I decided I'd rest a little and try to run later in the day. The temp. was 90 at 5 and it was just too much for me. I had been cleaning all day and was just drained and tired from the lack of sleep the night before. So I planned to get up early Sunday morning and run. And it happened! I ran 10 miles and my man came along with me on his bike so I would not be alone on the empty roads. I was so thankful he did that! I felt fine the whole time and made itback to get ready for SS and church. I was a little sore in my hips during church so hopefully some more stretching will help that.
I wanna know you, better than I do, relieve me from myself, bring me into you...

UPDATE: it's the evening now and my right knee has been a little tender off and on today. :( Also, had a weird pain deep in the back of my right hamstring (kind of there) that shoots up to my behind. Strange! Hoping more stretching will help.

Your fifth week done and you finished a ten miler, too - good for you!
Happy running!
You are doing awesome, Kate!
I love that your husband went w/you again, so great!
I'm sorry you're so sore. No fun!
Sometimes I take ice baths or just ice my sore knees. Also, I often drink chocolate milk after my run to refuel. I think that helps.
Hope you feel better soon - tomorrow even! : )
Thanks Wendy and Tina!
Tina, I just read that about quick refuel when there's no time for meals and choc. milk was one. My son made me a bowl of shredded wheat and I ate in the car on the way to church. I wasn't even hungry and it was an hour after I ran... hard to swallow. I tried the choc. milk last Sat. and had no problems. Think I'm gonna give it more tries!
Thanks for the tip!! I haven't been this sore in a long time... now I'm kinda nervous about the next few weeks...
I usually don't feel like eating after a hard run either, but I can always drink something. : )
