High Beams
Is there anything more annoying than someone turning their high beams on when they see you coming. Out here in the sticks there are hardly any street lights. When it is dark, your eyes adjust quite well to the conditions and you can see the road fine. Until someone in their RX330 comes towards you and decides to see you they need to put the HID's to "brighter than the sun" level. The road disappears and all you can see is this white blinding light. Then for 2 -3 minutes you see two dots like someone has taken you picture too many times. It may just be me though. I can not wait until we can put the clocks ahead so my after work runs can be done in some sun light.
Today was a standard post workout day.
Potter school rd run at lunch in 47:01 for 7.2. Did 3 sets of lifting in the fitness center after the run.
For the PM run it was Kendall Hill Rd.(7.5) in 47:36. Last mile in 6:13. I was either going to do 8 strides after the run or try to accelerate the last mile of the run. Last night my left knee tightened up a little bit after the workout. It relaxed after some stretching and ice. I figured rather than stretching it out with strides, just use the last mile of the run to stretch it out a little bit more than it has been stretched.
The lifting with the legs today didn't hurt it at all so I think it must just be from tight hamstrings. It is the type of thing that flares up and then goes away. It is isn't an injury, just a little challenge to the overall mission. The body trying to give the mind an excuse to not run. Won't work. It is such a funny balance between hurting yourself and not pushing through. If you are injured you can't, at least you shouldn't run. If you are hurt, well you are just being a wimp if you don't run. You just have to make sure you don't turn being hurt into being injured.
Hopefully all this drama will be over with a good night's rest.
