I guess you know you're in for it when you get a side stitch on your WARMUP RUN!!!! The first 2 miles were great though, I managed to hold them off, but I got a really really bad one on the 3rd mile and slowed down a lot. Eventually it got the point where my abs and lower back muscles completely froze up because the pain was so bad, so I was able to speed up a little bit at the end, even though I couldn't really breathe. And it still hurts today. Other than that I felt great for my first race in eons. The course was nice and flat with only a few hills and the weather couldn't have been better: very cloudy and a bit sticky, but I think it was only in the high 70's. Oooh yikes! It sounds like you tried to run through the pain and I'm always amazed and impressed to hear those stories because it is really, really hard to work through pain. So good job you!!! I know your sides are still hurting but how do your legs feel? I'm kind of nervous about my race later this morning. It's another trail run but I just looked at the map and it's, "hilly" and "challenging." I feel like I don't have it in me. We'll see. UPDATE: My race yesterday was GREAT! I felt fantastic. They weren't kidding though about it being a challenge. It was a mile and a half uphill on loose dirt and big, chunky rocks and tree roots BUT then it was a mile and half downhill. Thing was, I could only jog uphill and coming down I tried to run as fast as I could but it was tough on that ground. I booked it coming through the finish but still, that 1 1/2 mile incline killed my time. The funnest part... it was a naked race. AHHH! Fun as heck though. I'm so doing this race again. Great job!! sounds like it was really challenging. Naked.. as in Naked?? Yep. As in, in the nuuuuuuude. Here's their t shirt. (A concept I thought was funny.

My legs usually are not very sore after running, even after races or intervals, as long as I do my cool-down run and stretch and stuff. My calves were a little sore and stiff but not bad at all. I ran today and I could feel it in my side from Saturday, but luckily it held off. I think I might try doing some core muscles exercises and see if it helps at all.

Get this, one kid was making a statement by wearing a head-to-toe sweat outfit (sweatpants, hooded sweatshirt). So funny, ridiculous. Anyway, so age is no excuse! You can run a naked race if you wanted too. If there was one around. QUOTE Glad to hear your race went well Janie!

I felt ok the day after the race, a little tender but nothing that prevented me from running yesterday morning although I only ran 6 1/2 miles. But this morning, I am really, terribly sore. There's no way I can run I think and I'm so disappointed. Ugh. I didn't do a cool-down run after the race and I didn't stretch but I never stretch anyway. I'm horrible at that.

edgyspice Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 QUOTE (Janie @ Jul 19 2008, 10:16 AM) On purpose? How steep were the inclines? I hate running hills because I can never keep good form. I know you're supposed to stay as horizontal to the plain as possible but I always, always lean forward going uphill and lean back running downhill. Plus, my shins feel a little sore while running downhill and then it seems like I never run right for a while after a hill. Forgot to reply to this! I do want to figure out the actual grade, which you can do by dividing the vertical climb by the horizontal distance. All I know now is that this one is steep enough to give you that "omg gonna die" feeling as you get closer to the top. It's short, though. I did that one two-and-a-half times. There's another hill in my neighborhood that's very steep and a half-mile long (I checked on Google Maps). I run that one when I'm in better shape. I'm weird, I guess, because I really like running hills. It makes me feel like a million dollars when I reach the top, plus it builds leg muscle like nothing else. I noticed that after my hill run on Saturday, my Monday run was a breeze (I took Sunday off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're really really sore , I've been told the best thing you can do is go for a shorter, very easy run just to keep your legs loose. It's definitely also a good idea to some gentle stretching before and after. (More wisdom from my cross-country coach ) Usually if I ever get extremely sore I'll take an ice bath after running but that's not for the faint of heart.

Janie Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have another race tomorrow and then only one in August (on the 3rd). They're both only 5ks and I'm starting to get a ton of flak from my friends for running 5ks. I know I should be running 10ks but there aren't many around. Besides I want to move one once I reach a certain time/goal. Then I'll start running longer races. Bummer situation about all my upcoming races though... they all require clothes!

gleamingalloyaircar81 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I just ran a half mile. I can usually get 2 miles before my heart beats too fast but today was weird. I got light headed. Oh well. I'll get my walking in on the golf course! Im gonna get back into running again. I used to be at 3 miles a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
