I ran today at the gym and felt great. Training calendar had me running 6. I wanted to hit 6, possibly 6.5 but I stopped at 5. I really do have a good excuse, not that it matters. My hip was starting to get sore and my ankle hurt and since Connor was in childcare, I stopped after 5 and ran to Target to get what I needed to make a few ice packs...mostly ace bandages and alcohol.
PS- Dad John has an excellent "recipe" for ice packs that they use in the rehab clinic at Fort Hamilton Hospital. In a gallon freezer bag put 1c. rubbing alcohol and 2 c. water. Seal and stick inside another gallon freezer bag the opposite way (so the zipper tabs are on opposite sides- prevents leaking). Freeze those and then they will make an amazing ice pack that stays cold for 30 minutes.
I feel really good today...too bad the Icy Hot I bought to hold me off until the bags freeze is burning my skin!!!
