This is not the post I was going to write this week, it was going to be full of Avgeek Porn, but that didn’t happen (haven’t finished the photos yet) and then I was going to write something else about the visa process (that can wait too). Since the reason I am behind in my photos is because I skipped going for a run yesterday morning, I should at least talk about that.
Right now, Thursday morning, my body despises me. It hates my guts! Why? Well because I decided to sleep in yesterday morning (only an extra 30 mins) instead of going for a run. What I decided to do was keep that run for when I got home. Yeah, not a good idea. In the past I might have gone to the gym in the morning and then maybe a short run in the afternoon. Everytime I did that, I only lasted about 2-3km before my legs where just crap. A day at work with my legs stuck under a desk, or having to be cramped in a bus for an hour to get home (yep, yesterday took an hour and a quarter to get home thanks to traffic and rain & delays), never leaves my legs in good shape. So running in the afternoon never happens properly. Except yesterday I pushed through it and ran the full 5kms (in the rain as well).
This was the dumbest idea I have had in a while, and right now my legs hate my guts. My shins are tight and feel like someone has been jumping up and down on them. My calves feel like someone has been stabbing needles into them, and all of this because I decided to get some extra sleep. Since I run at least 3 days a week and Friday morning is always a run day before the weekly weigh in, I have no choice really but to run tomorrow. I hope to god that my legs are better by then or I will just be making it worse. Well the main thing is that I did run and I got out there, but I seriously am not doing that again… my legs just can’t handle the afternoon run. I don’t know why but a morning run is always more refreshing to me.
Eh… maybe I should just stop whining?
