Yeah so, I've discovered that in no way am I built for speed and I am beginning to think that I am also not built for distance which leaves what? Built for scientific research? Built for industrial purposes?
Day one, week two of Podrunner Intervals and straight off the bat I could tell that the intervals are longer which on any other day would have make me happy, considering I'm not loving the intervals, but today I was totally devoid of energy. As I realized the first running interval was longer I could feel tears in the corners of my eyes & my nose beginning to run and OF COURSE I forgot to bring tissues. There was a bright spot as I had a very good looking running partner today. One who is built for speed and distance and who enjoyed taunting me by running backwards part of the way as I much preferred to watch him run away from me. *ahem*
Shins were aching a wee bit but nothing too terrible and my quads are fine however it's my ARMS that were killing me. I've long suspected that I am not holding my arms incorrectly or I am holding too much tension in them. It's not my shoulders, which would probably make sense, it's my forearms. Is that weird? Yeah, of course it's weird. Who the hell gets "runner's forearms"? Me, that's who. Makes sense seeing as how I was treated, quite extensively, for "golfer's elbow" when I've never played golf in my life. Seems I have some sort of weirdly shaped forearm elbow thing happening. Dr. said so...neenerneener.
I made it through and besides my wonderful running companion nothing about today's run impressed me or pissed me off. It was what it was.
Tomorrow will be the first Monday since beginning this running thing. Mondays are my FIVE CLASS day so we'll see what happens. I'm taking the day off from running, of course, but let's see how my quads are going to be in Ballet Class.
