I ran 3 miles on the treadmill today. I ran a slower 11:19 pace to take it easy on the bum-knee. I have to admit that my knee was pretty sore today and it may or may not have had something to do with my super-cute brown heels. But, in the name of fashion decency, and how well these shoes go with the skirt I was wearing, the heel wearing was completely unavoidable. Perhaps I will puruse my closet tonight to find an outfit that might lend itself to cute, yet comfortable, no-heeled shoes. I'll keep you posted on my findings.
This is my last distance run until the race since (1) that is what my training schedule dictates and (2) Zippy may start using more forceful methods to get me to slow down. Zippy is quite an unstable person for those of you lucky enough to have never had to deal with her. Tomorrow I'll cross-train and Thursday I will do a short 1-mile or 15-minute run (I'll officially decide later). Friday we are flying to Austin, and I will be eating my way through the weekend until race day! |
