After doing four miles at the dome (with tight/banked corners), my knee was pretty angry. I talked myself out of it and almost went for another run....at the dome, no less. But sanity took over and I decided to rest my knee and skip my Thursday run.
After consulting my coach, I gave my knee a trial run today. A very slow, easy two miles. Why not bring my daughter? She's been begging me to take her on a run.
We did more walking than running. But she was great company and we had lots of fun with the camera.
(I didn't edit any of these clips because I had trouble with the editor and dont' have time to mess with it. I need to get back to my dirty kitchen.)
Note for next video: The silent moment before she puts down the last snowball was the moment I gave her 'dagger-eyes' as only a mother can do.
The group track workouts start this week Wednesday. I'm very nervous about jiggling around the track in front of a bunch of seasoned runners. Wish me luck.....I'll need it.
Hey Megan, sounds like you're doing great! And yeah, don't worry about the seasoned runners... they should know that the courage to be there is reason enough, regardless of ability. I hope your knee feels better!
In addition to motherhood and a busy life, I will become a runner. I will juggle family obligations while training and work hard to reach weight loss goals. Feel free to follow me on my journey.
Don't worry about the track workout, there will be plenty of runners of all abilities and all levels of fitness. You will fit in just fine!
