The "long" run

Feeling - tired and sore.
The last 2 days of late nights work and soccer are taking there toll. Work till 3am soccer till 1:30am

So last nights game of soccer went. I made my left wrist go numb and my knee and other wrist hurts. Marvelous. Now is the time to decide whether to take some time off.

I did manage to get the 2 mile run in today. HR was 166 bpm so I decided at the end to walk on an incline for half a mile which brought my HR down to 147. I think I will use this going forward to get used longer distances. Run the planned distance and then walk another mile as a slightly lower exertion. Well that's the plan.

The bummer is that I'm back on the treadmill as I'm too heavy for outside running. I had planned to run and let my son cycle/run beside me. Maybe by June!

I also had to up the pain killers again. So no exercise = very little pain and not so much pills but fatter and higher BP or exercise = pain and more pain killers but lower BP and lighter. Go figure.

So tomorrow: Plan out how many weeks I have and get the training plan figured out, Should I do some sprints with this and have some fun or focus. I'm thinking fun. We will see how the planning goes.
