A light day
Yup, definitely have a cold. It's not too bad, though, and it's making its way from my throat to my nose, which is now good and stuffed up.
I had only a short run on the schedule today, but I felt pretty good. My knee was more twingy than painful. It was super-windy though, especially along the river! I thought I would blow over. At least a lot of the humidity has passed.
After the run, I did the elliptical and my usual ab work and biked home. I've lifted three times this week and plan to one of the days this weekend, so I decided not to do that this afternoon. I feel guilty about it, of course, but I have a lot of reading to do and I'm going to try to get a nap in as well. Hopefully I'll survive :) and even be able to stay up for a party some of Matt's classmates are having.
I went to the chiropractor this afternoon and he said he thinks my upper body rotation has gotten a lot better (i.e. I wasn't moving my upper body at all when I ran and it was limiting my stride) and now he can move on to my hips and hamstrings. He worked on my outer hips a little--ouch! I am so tight there. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks. I can't wait until he can really concentrate on my hamstrings because they are what bother me most.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend! I am jealous. This weekend is one of my favorite races back in the D.C. area. Not only is it a cool idea (women's only trail race), but they have the BEST Patagonia race shirts and neat prizes (I got a bottle of wine for an age-group prize last year!)
