No run yesterday. I developed some sort of tightness two days ago over the course of the day. I think part of the problem was I ran, which was a bit of hard work, and then didn't get enough water and then had to sit in a taxi for 45 minutes trying to get across Kyiv to our other school to meet with the teachers over there. When I got out of the taxi I could barely get around and that is when I noticed the tightness.
The area was behind the knee from mid calf to mid hamstring. I worked a lot of stretching in to my day and finally got it worked out but didn't run yesterday which was kind of disappointing. I went through some very interesting feelings yesterday and earlier before today's run. It is the same feeling I had last week. Like I was pressuring myself to run. I was working on this most of yesterday and before I rose this morning. Really going on with some strange feelings about this. But then,...
I had a cup of coffee and headed out the door to run today, I really wasn't really feeling it, felt like I was trying to find an excuse. I reached for my watch to start it, and it wasn't there... I decided not to go back up to the elevator, go upstairs track it down and then go back down and start the ritual all over again, I just started to run.
And then there was a release... I've thought about every since I finished the run, no watch, no worries. Just running. A great feeling, not worrying about beings stopped by traffic, not worrying about adjusting stride for the trail, not worrying at all.
How is it that such a little thing like time can relieve all that pressure?
