My Legs Still Hurt
Last Sunday I ran in the Chicago Annual Shamrock Shuffle 8K. I’ve stated previously that I feel 8K is 3K too many. And this run hurt, let me tell you.
The goal was to train for it. What happened was that school and life conspired against me. Training, as in going to the gym regularly, didn’t happen. So my training basically consisted of a protein shake the morning of the run.
But no complaints. I got through it. Celebrated at Bennigan’s after the run. And have slowly been recovering from the pain I have with each and every step I’ve taken since that day. ![]()
