Yesterday I ran my first 10k since April 2003, a Rotary-sponsored event coinciding with Issaquah, WA’s “Salmon Days” festival. It was a terrific experience! I have posted results, pictures, and comments on my website at http://www.jodidodds.com/10k/salmondays.htm . This morning I am experiencing mild to moderate tibialis anterior soreness bilaterally, likely attributable to running six miles on pavement. I had absolutely no soreness during the race, which is wonderful!
Evan and I enjoyed the Salmon Days festival that followed the race. Huge salmon were trying everything to get upstream to the Issaquah Hatchery, where they were hatched and where they “wanted” to go to spawn. Many were so large they were forced to flop (for lack of a better word) upstream in shallower portions of the creek bed.
[...] The stress fracture is much better – I can ride my mountain bike without pain, and can even walk around in heels now without feeling it. Yesterday, as I was getting out of my car at 3:30AM after having been at the hospital during the night, I could feel a slight throbbing in that location, but it’s the first I’ve experienced in several weeks. With this in mind, Evan and I are going to attempt the Salmon Days Rotary Run 5k in Issaquah on October 8th – going at a slow speed, walking part of the way, and just seeing how things go. I had a terrific 10k experience during this race last year and look forward to returning, albeit at a much slower pace. [...]
