Half Marathon Training - Week 5

Tuesday, August 07, 2012

I am on week 5 of the HM training, although I've been at it for about 7 weeks now.

My knee is bothering me a little. It started after yoga yesterday. It felt okay when I woke up at 5, so I ran anyway but slowed down slightly. It felt irritated enough that I needed Aleve after my run but I don't really see a lot of swelling or anything. I am going to go ahead and go to kettle bells at lunch unless it starts to feel worse.

Tomorrow is a no run day, I only have yoga on the calendar. So maybe that is enough of a rest.

I'm such a wimp that I'm not even 1/2 way through the training program and I am starting to feel pain. I guess it's a reminder that I am now in the 30+ crowd.

    You're not giving up, so you're NOT a wimp. Keep doing what you are doing!! A couple of years ago while training for a half I too did yoga and irritate my knee...I kept pushing and didn't do yoga again...I stretched more until it was bothering me anymore. Good luck, have fun training and smile.
