I am sooo totally thrilled with myself today. After taking that break from running, today is my forth day in a row that I've gone out to run.
Monday- 2 Miles
Tuesday- 1.5 Miles
Wednesday- 1.5 Miles
Thursday- 4 Miles
Booyah! I completed four miles today!! AND...the important part is since I'm typing this out for everyone to read...I didn't get hit by a stray golf ball running by the golf course AND I didn't get hit by any cars! Woohoo! I was more worried about the golf balls than people driving, lol. There are no brakes on a golf ball...just sayin'! I've seen some of the people around here play golf...yeah...it's a bit scary.
I'm all giddy today. It's been a while since I've run that far and I plan to do it tomorrow too! With my trusty iPod, I plan to jog/sing four more miles. At my pace (which was about 11 minutes a mile) I burned an estimated 570 calories. WOOT!
As for the pain I've been having the past few days (my knees are still sore)...it's getting better. Today I didn't have any pain until the home stretch when I started hauling it back to the house. I really picked up the speed when I noticed Bryan put the lights up on our porch. I got excited, lol. I've started taking a supplement (along with my multivitamin) called TriFlex. I've only been taking it for a couple of days (religiously), but I do believe it's helping. The idea of the supplement is to provide some cushion to your joints and improve mobility. Well that's pretty much my whole problem...my knee joints. So, since this is working for me so far I'll keep using it! If you're interested, I got it at GNC.
Happy Running!!
