Day 29- A Not So Awesome 4 Mile Run...

Last nights run wasn't good.  I had to wait for Adam to get home from the gym and then right before I went to leave I found a puddle of water in the basement (which we still don't know where it came from?!).  By the time I left it was after 10:00pm.  So it was nice and dark out, plus it poured buckets about an hour before I left so there was nice giant puddles everywhere.  I couldn't see anything because only a few streets in my neighborhood have street lights and most of them are burned out (way to go, L-Town).  People don't really turn on their porch lights, either.  When I was running I knew I was being overly cautious with my steps, I didn't want to trip or slip in a puddle since I couldn't see.  Well, I didn't trip but I definitely slipped in a puddle during my 3rd mile.  I probably should have stopped after that happened because my legs didn't feel so great after that.  My 4th mile was extremely slow going for me and it was painful.   I was afraid if I started to walk I might not make it home so I pushed through it.   When I got home I sat on the floor in front of the fridge with ice packs on my legs.  After I showered I put on my compression socks that I bought when I was enormously pregnant for my swollen feet.  My legs felt better with them on so I decided to attempt to sleep in them.  I NEVER sleep in socks.  I HATE socks, I can't stand them.  I don't wear them unless I have to but as soon as I get home I take them off.  Anyway, when I got up this morning my legs felt better than they did yesterday.  I took the socks off right when I woke up.  :oP  I might take today off, I haven't decided yet.  I can tell you that I'm never running at night after a rainfall ever again.  I should avoid running at night anyway since my neighborhood is so freakin' dark!  I'm frustrated about my legs.  Really freaking frustrated.    Anyway, here's last nights info:
