Run 32, 2008

I managed to get a 7km run in today at the indoor track in 45 minutes and 6 seconds. That would be a 6:26 pace, or a full minute faster than my training pace. Which is a comfort, I suppose, given that my joints and bones feel like they’ve been hammered pretty good lately, and given my dismal performance in last Sunday’s 17 km long run. Still, even though I continue to train, the little nagging injuries are healing anyway.

I floated about in the pool after. I played around with a little karate, mainly kicks, in the pool. I got the idea when I remembered water jogging. It was interesting and might be useful some day if I ever need it. It feels like I’m 40 pounds lighter in the pool so I can kick a lot higher.

Then I went into the hot pools and placed my sore ankle in the powerful jets of water. I hope it helps me heal faster. Having sore joints and kinks sure makes everything a lot harder. So I don’t like them. I have to get rid of the pain. Yup. Heal myself. O. K. Guess it’s time to pack’er up and head off to bed. Getting too loopy and I start to babble.

G’nite folks.

Next run is on Friday, another 7 km outdoors.
