sports injury

I have developed a sports injury. A bad spot due to overuse and chafing. A runners saddle sore, so to speak. Will spend the next seven days periodically sitting in a sitz bath and I will concentrate on upper body strength as a way to cross train. I had been doing weight lifting with dumb bells as a warm up for running. The plan is to replace the running time with weight training. I'll do a limited number of leg lifts etc.

Ran with the big trucks.

Or at least that's how it seems running on the sidewalks downtown. They are very close to the road. It's kind of scary.
It was a 40 minute run lots of hills and on sidewalk. The temperature was nice. Not too hot.
I have a weird pain in my stomach.
Tomorrow is the long run. Unless I put it off and take a rest day tomorrow then I'll do the 1:20 Friday.

Still following the schedule

But I'm eager to get to the week in the schedule when I am running 30 minutes one day and 60 minutes the next. Which that's next week. I have another 30 minute then 1:20 minutes this week.
Still having no problems. Begining to be good weather for running.

Ran 30 minutes this morning.

I'm thinking about taking two unscheduled days off. I'm sprinting some and doing a very small number of drills. I can feel the muscles in my legs and today I'm tired.

Went to the school track PM

Timed my run at 4 laps 10 minutes. That should be a mile, but I'm going to check. No problems.

Nice cool day for a run.

Ran 30 minutes as scheduled this AM. I ran to a Motion Traxx running mp3 that includes intervals at 150-160-170 BPM rhythm.

Yesterday evening I ran for 10 minutes. I am not much of a heat or late day runner I always feel so tired. But I'm gonna do it. Running still hasn't fatiqued my legs, mind or rest of my body as much as several jobs that I've held. That is how I'm trying to guage "overtraining" with the running. I've known real, continuous overuse. When I worked on my feet for many hours a day I would have trouble getting to sleep at night because my legs were so tired. I also had a tendency to have leg cramps. During that period of time, in despiration, I would listen to relaxation tapes. They worked.

Again, I plan to run 10 minutes this afternoon. If I can only do 5 minutes, I'll do that.

Ran 50 minutes this AM

I was scheduled for 25, but was enjoying the run so much I doubled the
time. I plan to run at least 10 minutes this pm.
