Woke up and felt bad about sleeping instead of doing the pushups and crunches. So I did 50 of each. And I cannot believe how sore I am from the ones I did on Friday. My chest muscles are hurting.

Playing with the kids outside my leg still had pain. I took a motrin pill about 5pm. Decided to run 6.2 miles later in the evening (7:40pm). As I started the run the leg felt fine. Probably the drugs. After 4 miles I changed my mind and decided to turn around and run another 4 to equal 8. Ended up finishing in 59:47. My splits were: 7:31, 7:39, 7:42, 7:31, 7:20, 7:29, 7:17, 7:16. (7:28 avg.)

I was hurting all over the last 2 miles. Form was breaking down and looked like a flailing idiot the last 1/2 mile. I will be sore fromt this and hope I did to strain my quad any more than it already is.

Also did 50 pushups and 50 crunches in the evening.

Scott - ease off on the easy run to about 8:10 pace. 2 miles in the middle hard would be ok, if you are feeling energized, probably under 7:00 would be a good pace, maybe even 6:40.

Do you happen to know Mike Kirk? He is originally from Richmond also, and has a blog on this site.

Sasha,

Thank you for the advice. I will try it. This is why I joined the blog. I had read a few of them for awhile now but never thought I was "elite" enough to be a member. But then saw your quote on the main page, "What matters is your mindset." I may not train or race like an elite runner, but in my mind I compete like one. So I joined.

Yes, Mike and I ran in middle school and high school together. Last Summer I had heard he was living in Utah and running well. I Googled his name and the first link I chose was a reference made by you, "Mike Kirk Syndrome." From then on I browsed the blogs.

Welcome to the blog! It looks as if you have healed.

Sasha has run the Richmond marathon so he knows a bit of our hometown.
