Not the kind that can cause a runner to sit side-lined, but more like the pain on the bones when you've done sit-ups on cement or wood floors.
I have been having this pain since last night, and Lord knows, it isn't from sit-ups! Haven't done much of those! I could not figure it out.
Then on this evening's run, I was adjusting my Amphipod and realized what had caused the soreness. My Camelbak! Yesterday was the first time I have worn it since Rocky and the area wear the Camelbak sits is exactly what is sore! Phew... glad it's that and nothing more.
I also started developing a chaffed area on my arms today. Weird. I think my shirts have gotten bigger on me so the extra fabric is rubbing the inside of my arm. Made for an unpleasant feeling about 1/2 way into the run, but nothing too unbearable.
I finally got to run the Nature Preserve Trail tonight. It's the first time since before Ike. I noticed some new pathways have been created. I'd like to spend some time exploring those. Anyone interested? I will not run the trails by myself. It was nice of Mark to ride his bike alongside me tonight. We had not done that in a long while either.
I am somewhat frustrated that it takes me a good 4 miles to feel warmed up and in a groove. To steal Holden's catch phrase..."What's up with that!?" Anyone else have this issue. Good thing I'm not trying to run 5Ks!!
It will be nice to get a bit of rain this week, as long as it doesn't interfere too much with my running!

Really, no ab work, that's hard too believe?
It takes me 45 minutes to an hour to warm up. It's a good thing if you run ultras a bad thing on a 5k.
Yeah, but isn't it neat when you DO catch the groove?! Yeah, there ain't no "groove" in a 5k!
I was about to say, "woman, what are you doin' sit ups on cement" but kept reading.
The only way I can get in a groove at a 5K is to run a 5K right before it.
What? Your shirts got bigger? Is that woman talk for, "I've lost weight?" I'm always getting in trouble with those talks...
Yep, me too. I can't figure out how to get the O2 flowing down to my legs until about 5 miles into a run. Yeah, not great for the 5 miles and under runs!
Random Crazy Exercise Tip: do sit up's with a full camelbak faced frontward...OR NOT! Lol
I'd love to try trails Karen! Unfortunately, I've got DH's work schedule to plan around, so I might not be the best running partner. Well that and that you are faster than me! :-)
Funny. You will get used to it.
