Self Inflicted Bus of Pain

I got back on the hampster wheel yesterday and ran a little over 10k. But is was a little too much too quick since I have not run in a while. I was breathing just fine but my legs where not with it. My left hip started hurting and I held out as for as long as possible but ended up walking about another k after 10.4k. But after that I felt pretty good. This morning I felt like I took one too many turns on the mechanical bull.

Ah, it is good to be back on the self inflicted bus of pain!

So tonight after work I went out to Center trail and rode the iron horse for a few hours. It was nice to not have the the concrete pounding into my spine and still have the legs burning. It was great riding out there with only a few spots to avoid from the last rain we had.

I stopped to get a few photos of the trail.

Here is one last photo with my sweet socks I was given from New Belgium Fat Tire gig at El Bait Shop two weeks ago.

I am not sure what the rest of the week will entail for my running workout but I have to get ready for a race in two weeks so I am sure it will be more spine pounding madness upon the bus of pain.

All aboard!
