Run With Dogs : My Legs Have Never Felt So Good!

My Legs Have Never Felt So Good!

Posted by: Audrey Post date: May 2nd, 2008

Last Sunday’s 10k with Robyn was the last time I went out for a run, I’ve done nothing at all this week. Didn’t go to club last night as Hubby’s aunt and uncle were visiting so we went out the sports club for dinner. Nice red wine, but a little tired this morning :???: All that rest, plus a physio appointment on Wednesday have left my legs feeling better than they have in a long time. It’s a good thing. I actually dreamed the other night that I went for a run and my legs didn’t hurt. I’ve also been reading more on low heart rate training and by all accounts, it’s pretty gentle on the legs so I might use that to ease back into it. One of the reports I read mentioned an accomplished half marathoner being someone who completes the run in under 2 hours. So, I’m accomplished, LOL. I need to make myself a plan and set another goal. I still think I might do the Russell Island Half at the end of June, I probably should enter that, oh, and enter Glasshouse too. Thanks for the reminder, Mallani.

I’m going to run with MBRR tomorrow morning for a short run then coffee, and Hubby and I are doing another night Glasshouse run on Sunday night. Next weekend is the Mothers Day Classic, then the following weekend is the Glasshouse race. It all even sounds tiring.

Found this blog post on why running a marathon is bad for you. I don’t doubt there’s some fact in some of the points, but there tons of reasons why it isn’t bad for you, both physically and mentally. Not that I’m planning on doing one any time soon.

Whippets are settling in very well. They’re just charming. They’re getting out for a few walks and are getting used to the traffic noises a lot more. Always a bit of a worry walking a pup that’s not fully vacccinated, but in the grand scheme of things, I think the risk of infection around our estate is less than the problems we’d have with frightened unsocialised dogs. I’ll have to take some photographs! After failing to graduate agility class on Tuesday night because all he wanted to do was play with the other dogs rather than do any of the obstacles, I’m going to take Guinness back to obedience classes. 30kg of puppy needs a bit more control!

I just clicked that link and don’t think that it applies to me (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself) – I’m just trying to convince myself that I will do the Melbourne Marathon again this year and try and break that 4 hour barrier. So no more “helpful” articles like that please
