Training Log Archive: FoxRunsFast

Disaster. Ran to the Y (0.6mi) and barely made it there - leg started killing me about a quarter mile in. Pain level unfortunately back to where this thing started at, so looks like it's going to be more x-training for me. Tried to run home but leg wouldn't have it so I walked. Ugh.

After running the Y, I did a quick elliptical session and then tried to run home. No dice.

Elliptical at the gym - nice sweaty session helped improve my mood :)

Elliptical session before teaching BodyPump - leg feeling better, going down stairs less painful.

Taught Pump today but had Jamie demo the lunges (since that seems to irritate the leg again) Feeling better, and happy to have BodyPump to take my mind off not being able to run.

Hit the elliptical today. Lower leg is feeling better, but still can't run or go down stairs without pain. Heat+roll+iced today - hoping that will help!!!

Ran on the treadmill at the Y today and my right leg started to HURT about 3 miles in. Right where my lower calf attaches to my achilles is super painful and tender - perhaps the posterior tib/soleus? I think I irritated it on the hike this past weekend and then running 10 miles on it yesterday didn't help. UGH. Super bummed. Taking a few days off to x-train.

Ran the first 5 on the TM since it was pouring, then hopped outside to take advantage of the break in the rain to run the last 5 outside. Last five outside were much better - avg. 7:40 pace.

Grateful for: So glad I got to get out and enjoy the break in the rain. It's been raining all day today and will rain all day tomorrow too. Happy to have gotten out on the roads a bit since I'm stuck on the TM for the rest of the week due to Tony traveling.
