Day 6: 5K day! No, not for me, but a friend of mine was in it, it was in my town, and I thought it would be a good chance to check out how these things work (Oh, did I mention I've never even been to a race?)... I even got up on time! Not like, up for a second, but up out of bed! But, I decided not to go. Apparently, I'll just wing it on race day.
Meanwhile, I did not a single other form of working out today. Probably unwise, since I felt totally great physically - I'll definitely keep icing my knees after future runs!
The day was not a total loss, though, as my aforementioned friend took me around town to give me some tips on where to run. She ran cross country for the local high school, so she had not only some great locations to run, but knew the distances and even a good training hill. Granted it'll be awhile before I take that (gasp) 15 mile loop, or even the 1.5 mile loop, but I will get there a whole lot faster running on the luscious, soft, grassy areas she pointed out!
I'm not looking forward to another rest day tomorrow, but I know it's important to rest. Oh, and it's supposed to rain all week now! Goody!
