Day 31 and 32

Day 31

Yesterday was a 4 miler and I decided to run it in the afternoon. I woke up several times the night before including one time with a low fever. Generally I felt terrible the night before and decided to take the morning off. That seemed to work out well for me because I felt pretty good all day. 

So, I did my 4 miler after work yesterday. It was HOT. I was slightly freaked out by my right leg hurting so badly the day before and so I let myself run really really slow. I had fun imagining who lived in each house, haha! I would think in my head which ones I would fix up, which ones were new, which ones were old and renovated. I had a good time. The bad thing was at the end my left hip was hurting which is generally a sign (For me) of a tight IT band. That is NOT a good thing for me. It has taken me out of running before, but the good thing is I know the sign of it and I know how to begin fixing it and that is by doing more quad and glute exercises. I have been doing them once or twice a week, but I guess that isn't enough. 

Day 32

Today is my rest day so I slept in again this morning and I honestly feel pretty good. I can still tell my body is tired though and I think it is important that I truly make today a rest day. However, since yesterday I found out my legs need more work, I am definitely going to get in a good leg workout today. My plan is to do a lot of squats and jumpies. Maybe even a few kettle bell swings. I will probably start doing my squats every day besides my long run days to make sure I keep that part of my body strong. I will let you know if I do anything different today. Ciao!
