So I've been doing my 5K a Day Challenge for 20 days now with 10 to go and I have been having problems with my legs. As a runner I know that any kind of distance running is usually followed with some type of pain or soreness, but my shins are killing me. There are times that after a run my shins are throbbing. I am constantly having to fight through soreness in my right knee and shin while running just to finish a 5K. I am now 5 miles behind and will have to make those miles up.
Yesterday I gave myself a rest because I was exhausted from work and working out all the time. I can't wait for this challenge to be over. There is no medal or recognition. Just the sense of pride of finishing what I started. But once it's over, I'm not running for a week. Gotta give my legs a chance to truly heal and recover from the abuse. I am hoping that this challenge would have helped me lose a few extra pounds this month. I guess we'll see on July 1st.
In the mean time, just gonna keep on chuggin along. I am going to try and hit 5 miles tonight to help make up some of the miles I am behind on. Better get the ice pack and ibuprofen ready.
