something’s wrong…i feel great?
This past while has been frustrating. Lately, it’s seemed as though every time I’ve turned around I’ve gotten injured doing non-running stuff. I mean, come on – getting piriformis moving a box of wood? Or, getting whiplash racking wine? (you shush, Nella!) Oy.
Frankly, this state of affairs has become a source of trepidation that has, at times, bordered on fear. And “yes”, I’ve said/thought “It sucks getting old” more than I like to admit this past few months.
But today was, I think, some kind of turning point.
-I biked 10 miles too work
-Ran 4 miles at lunch
-And biked back home
Today was my fifth day bike commuting. The first couple days really sucked. The third and fourth were ok. Today felt great. And the kicker is it was the first time I added a run in there and even with that, the ride home felt really loose.
And here I sit feeling…well oiled – for lack of a better phrase. Sort of like the body needed those 2.75 hours of exercise to get past…something. Even my piriformis feels damn near gone.
Curious.
