Run tonight was delayed a bit as I discovered that our cat had decided to take a leak on my running shoes. This is the second time this has happened with last time being about 3 weeks ago. Different shoes each time but the same location. The last time I think was because her litter really needed to be changed but that doesn’t seem to be the issue today. The wife said the cat was squawking at her all morning, so there is something up, just need to figure out what!
I love cats, but man are they temperamental some days.
The run itself was good – a solid attempt at some speed work. Haven’t tried any really speed since I had my hamstring issues a couple weeks back and things went pretty well. No issues at all with the hamstrings but did have some pains in my right knee. I think I was compensating for something in my right knee when I had the hamstring issue but this time I was able to make a minor adjustment to my stride and work it out without any further damage. I think the time in the pool slowly stretching the legs has helped loosen up the muscles, hopefully enough that I don’t have any more issues prior to the Manitoba Marathon on Fathers Day.
Only 7 more runs for a total of 32.5 miles until race day. Bring it on!
