First off, the tragedy on Friday broke my heart. I teach Kindergarten so my babies are just about the same age. I kept thinking about what I would have done in that situation and just how I would have kept them safe. I mean, we do the drills every year but really having to think about it was heartbreaking.
On Friday I had my sports medicine doctor appointment. He said that he thinks it IT Band syndrome and wants me to have physical therapy twice a week for 3 weeks. He said I could run and it wouldn't hurt me, but that it wouldn't help me heal either. And advised after the race the next day not to run for three weeks. But I have a half marathon in 4 weeks!! Saturday, we ran our 5k. We went all out--red shirt and short, and red/green/white tutu that we made, green & white plaid knee-high socks with white puffiness at the top, jingle bells on our shoes and in our hair, a candy cane striped Sweatyband and reindeer antlers. I was so scared to run. I was completely pain free for the first 1 and a half miles then only had very slight pain for the rest. Not enough to even slow my pace down at all! I was fine right after too but I was very sore later that night. I felt a lot of pressure on my knees. Well, when I got up on Sunday, my thighs were very sore (like I had just started running, not been running for over a year!) but had no pain in my knees!! I was shocked! Today they are a little bruised feeling if I touch it hard or bump into something, but no pain when I go up/down steps or bend down! So now I'm trying to decide if I should "be good" and still not run and only cycle to stay in shape (which makes me panic thinking about how sore my muscles were after only running a 5k!) or "be bad" and try to slowly pick back up on training! I think I might try to run 30 mins tomorrow to see how I do!
