Ouch!
Yipee for me I got out for my first run in forever (really about 8 years)! So I expected the usual pains and thought I may have cardio short-comings as well, but Yikes! Ok, pain in the knees was expected, pain in the feet was expected, hamstrings yep, expected and I even expected some pain in the quads.
SO the answer is Check!, Yes to all of the above, but what I didn’t expect was the monkey jumper pain I felt in my glute (singular because it was only the left side)! For those who don’t know elementary school slang, take your thumb tuck it under your pointer finger, then make a fist…jab into the arm of your pal (making the muscle and the monkey “jump”) hence the monkey jumper! Imagine that pain every step right in the center of your butt cheek! Talk about pain the the a**!
Well I need to figure out how to get that monkey off my a** for my next run, because it was excruciating.
I’m going to have to report the distance tomorrow once I drive it; its not far, I say its just around the block, but where I am now that really has no consistent distance associated. Growing up and running “around the block” it was easy to calculate distance as I lived in a neighborhood and city that was created using square blocks. 8 blocks equaled one mile. Real simple to know how far you run. Here every subdivision is different and when I say I went around the block–who knows how far it really is, its basically a big loop…I start at the house end at the house and I turned four times!
Anyway, I didn’t use my cool gadgety gadget because I wanted to get out before the rain started again and I hadn’t set it up yet. So I’ll keep ya posted when I get it figured out.
