Left butt is not cooperating when running outside. It was so sore after the run I blogged about on my last post that I couldn't even bike ride on Saturday and had to....*gasp*....TAKE THE DAY OFF FROM WORKING OUT.
Told you I was injured. Plus I have one heckuva itchy eczema outbreak from all the muddy water I encountered from the mud run last Saturday, so I pretty much want to scratch all the skin off my legs and arms. Good times, kids (not really). I want to show you pictures of the big angry red patch of itchy goodness on the back of my left leg but the hubbs said I couldn't buy any more running shoes if I posted those here. He's such a funkiller.
Anyway, when I have been working out, what have I been doing? Well...
Because I'm injured and it was pretty much flooding from the heavens on Sunday, I ran 13 miles on the treadmill in the hopes that my left butt wouldn't scream too loudly (it didn't):
 |
| Always have your cat check your treadmill for safety before running 13 miles on it. |
 |
| And I ran all 13 with uneven shorts because huge nasty eczema lesion on the back of my leg. |
The next day I did a little indoor cycling because Mother Nature is just so rainy these days:
And then after that same cycling I did some lifting of heavy things and then putting them back down over and over again:
 |
| Again...uneven shorts. Damn you, eczema. |
And, of course, I did more running this morning on the 'mill in the form of a 4 mile tempo run. Because masochism.
 |
| My internal attitude about this run oozing out. |
Left butt whined a little bit more this morning, and my legs were feeling pretty heavy, which is odd for a mile tempo at 9:18 pace. My brain keeps whispering the word "overtraining" in the back of my mind...but I'm ignoring it for now because I have training to do, dammit. Can't be listening to those voices in my head all day, now can I?
Tomorrow's workout: Indoor cycling...but only because my real bike is getting a tune-up.
