Challenge Jog 10

Today was not my best day for jogging. After the 10k I jogged on Sunday my hip and knees hurt - a lot. :( I was hoping to hold off until the end of my challenge and buy myself new shoes as a reward, but I think I am going to have to cave at the begining of the month instead out of necessity. But, we will see. Either way, on David's advice, I took Monday off to let the soreness work its way out of my legs. Then I took Tuesday off because I was too tired to get off the couch. Seriosly, when you are too tired to even watch TV you know something is not right. I haven't been sleeping well, was achy all over, and just mentally drained from another mind numbing day at work. I thought about jogging, but as soon as I sat done that was IT. But, I did the math and realized that I needed to jog 16.8 miles in 12 days in order to make it to 50 miles by May 27th, which is the halfway point in my timeline. If I stick with my plan to do 5ks each time out, I would need to go 6 of them in 12 days. That doesn't seem too terribly hard as long as I don't get lazy. Unfortunately, I have been lazy this week. That will change though! I made myself get off the couch tonight. Again, not my best showing, but it was better than nothing. 1st lap at the complex: 5:39 mins - j 2nd lap: 10:53 mins - j untimed .1 mile - w untimed .4 mile - j untimed .1 mile - w untimed .4 mile - j The total of 1.8 miles jogged leave me with an even 15 miles left! :)
