Well the reason this is a part 2 is because of the events that transpired due to me being so chaotically excited about the Prologue. Being as amped up as I was, I figured "man, I'm going to be so pro running today"...wrong...I was just distracted and decided to go on a 20km run on a trail around a local lake. WORST DECISION EVER YESTERDAY.
At one point I missed the turn which would have kept me on the same main trail that I was supposed to be on and then ended up on this super rocky and narrow trail. So I figured, meh, and kept going. Eventually the trail would meet up again. It did eventually...but only after I tripped over a tree root and went sprawling to the ground. Awesome fun, you are all jealous, I can tell. My tights saved me from what could have been some pretty awesome scraping to my hip and thigh. Just some minor surface wounds and brusing. My hands are a bit scraped. Left shoulder and neck sore. So I had tripped about 8km into my run. Ran the 2km back to my car, drove home, checked my handed out (wasn't sure how deep the cuts were). I went back out after dinner to finish off the other 10km. 20km/20km complete. 20.49km if we want to be specific.
Note to self: Don't trip on tree roots because you arn't paying attention because you are so excited about the Tour de France...Be less amped up before running...focus...
Today I did a 3200m swim and a short 30min spin on a spin bike at the gym. Really wishing I had my trainer here in Victoria...but I'll have to make due with what I have. It was a bit hard to hold onto the bars because of bruising on my hand, but I HTFU'ed today and made it through. Haha.
My left IT band and glut are still giving me some grief. I rolled them out on a roller after my spin and did some stretching. Hopefully they will feel better tomorrow. Pretty tired from all of yesterday's "excitment".
