Run Overview
I am still recovering from my injury that's why I am running easy pace runs. I have to keep remining myself that every run consists of listening to my body and making notes on how it reacts to each run. This helps to make proper adjustments and uncovers any weak spots in my body. Today I felt a little stiff in my hips and hip flexors. I didn't stretch at night or in the morning. Also, I felt a little tired from previous runs. And that felt on my run. After a mile or so I started to feel my right knee to just slightly show dull pain. If I corrected my running form it would get better. Towards the end I started to feel similar pain on my right Achilles tendon. This pain was not the same as my previous injury in the left knee. That was sharp and almost too panful to run. So, that means I need to check my running schedule and make some adjustments. It happens that tomorrow is my rest day, but if it wasn't I would probably make the run shorter and much easier. Or maybe just take a day off. Need to let my body heal more. Overall, the run was good, I didn't hurt myself and will be taking slight modifications.
