I had a peanut butter sandwich from yesterday that I ate shortly before departing. I forced myself to start out nice and slow by holding back a little at first. After a few minutes I let myself get into a groove. Both of these are suggestions from Sister of Awesomeness, and they made a huge difference. I didn't feel amazing on the run, but I definitely felt like I was going. :) I even went a bit further today than I did on Friday. Total, just under 3 miles, 37 minutes. Overall, I felt really really good about it.
Afterwards, my knee/leg was bothering me. I could definitely feel some aggravation in my knee/hip connection. I iced the knee (something I should probably start doing regularly) and it feels a bit better. I will stretch and perhaps ice more later. Must keep this situation under control. I think I will put off my next run until Wednesday, do swim tomorrow and bike on Tuesday. We'll see how it goes!
5K is two weeks from today!
