AM: My calves still hurt this morning so I went to my chiropractor and got some therapy on it, and it already feels better. He said the pain should go away soon and to just be cautious for the rest of the week. I will still race at Highland and on the plus side I'll be pretty rested so I am still going for a fast time. I have never raced highland before but looking back at other runners I think that a 15:15 will be my goal. However I think if the race goes just right a sub15 will not be out of the question. I believe it is wise to set more realistic goals, however I do not think a person should deny themselves the opportunity to do something great simply because they have set their standards too low. I just did1 mile of very slow jogging and a ton of core workouts. PM: 1.5 miles before practice with Ky. .5 mile warmup at practice plus about 3 miles of slowish miles before coach made us stop because of the weather. The wind was really bad and the lightning was very close, and the rain turned into hail...not too fun. Elias claims that he legitimately got lifted off the ground for a few seconds... :) calves feel much better, the rest helped as well as the massage this morning. Although it still feels funny so I will stay cautious. |
