Not so hot...

So, yesterday was just no bueno.  I was in this horrid funk and I just wanted to sit in a bubble bath and watch a sad movie for cathartic tears, and then on the other hand, I wanted to run, but it was dark already so I couldn't.  So I'm complaining to C, and he says, "That's it - get your stuff on.  We're going!"  So C goes with me on my run last night.  Both good and bad.  Good, because I pushed myself harder than I would have on my own and I had a pretty quick pace during my run segments.  Bad, because I pushed myself harder than I normally would have and hurt myself. 

So, someone at work told me that, when running long distances, you want most of your weight to fall on the middle part of your foot, rather than running on the ball of your foot like I'd been doing.  So, last night, I tried the new running style.  BAD idea!  While I was running I felt really good.  We ran a full 5k last night, obviously with walking thrown in, but somewhere about half way through, my middle back, right below my shoulder blades started to twinge every time I started running.  By the time we got home, all I could do was collapse on the floor and cry.  I freaked the hell out of C beacuse as soon as we walked in the door, I started sobbing.  So I had to lay there for 30 minutes while he massaged my back, trying to get me back in shape before I could hit the shower.  It was no bueno.  I'm def going back to running on the balls of my feet again.  That's still going to be difficult though, because last night restarted both of my blister spots something fierce (I get a blister on each foot, right behind the ball of the foot at the very front of the instep). 

Today is going to have to be weights, because I think my poor body needs a break!
