Ran the 7 mile loop at Lady Bird Lake this morning with Shan. Diana couldnt make due to her and Rob't being in Bandera for Cactus Rose. I'm not sure what the deal is with Mark and Steve. Haven't heard from them in weeks.
I hit LBL Tuesday after work with the intention of running the 7 mile loop but wasn't feeling so hot so I settled for the 4 mile loop. I was wearing a new pair of Velocity's and everything seemed fine until I got up to get a drink of water at 3am and felt a strain in my right glute.
That's my frickin good glute too!! It's amazing that something as simple as putting my inserts on top of the factory insole changed my gait enough to cause the strain in my glute. My normal routine is to pull the factory insole out and replace it with the Spenco inserts. Doing this helps alleviate my metatarsal pain.
I got to the parking lot early this morning like usual and did my normal 2-3 walking loops around the parking lot to get warmed up and realized it felt a lot better than yesterday evening. We stopped at the zero marker for a couple of minutes for me to stretch it out and continued on.
I never really felt good the entire run, never hit that, "effortless" feeling. But, the mad part is that we had a really good time of 1:05:30 including the stop. We were both pleasantly surprised!!
Even with everything going on in my life that is affecting my running I am still determined to get to the starting line of the Bandera 100k and Rocky Raccoon 50m
First day with new Velocity's
