big sleep and needed it... was pretty frustrated yesterday afternoon but some good burgers and beer put an end to that.

shin. feels good out of bed. we'll see. doesn't seem as bad as a few weeks ago. wondering what tweaked it though.

this is probably the best article i've read about shin pain... it's not soft tissue.

easy spin and good legs. to be expected after taking yesterday off. cold and wet... again. rolled cold and it was super gray out but not too cold. rode over to deer creek and it was like riding in cold. super wet and cold. then it started to rain lightly for the rest of the ride. hopefully i am paying my dues for some super sunny, hot, WIND FREE days ahead!

ankle mobility and flexibility work

ART with Dr. Dan. Just working on my calves and ankle mobility. he has a lot of good ideas. next time i go in he going to to a gait analysis. i gotta figure out why my R shin keeps getting lit up.

up early to head to boulder for the "race". plan is to run easy... but may pull the plug depending on how i feel. my shin was a bit weird after my RIDE yesterday... what the fuck. not sore running around and playing with ruby in the back yard... just weird or achey is the only way i can describe it. i had zero issues before, after, or during any of my runs since taking 17 days off. i'm cursed.

not sure what caused it if it's' anything... at all. it could be nothing and I'm just thinking about it too much and wondering if there is anything going on.

I ran in the Fresh Foam 1080s on Friday and they just feel weird on my feet. My shin started hurting the last time after my first run in them. took them back to Boulder Running company on friday and exchanged them for another pair or cliftons for my non technical trail running and hood paths. not saying the the 1080s caused this but it's an odd coincidence for sure.

if I have any sensations in my shin today I'll pull the plug. other than my shin i feel so good and fit.

Pulled the plug... Shin not 100% and don't want to risk it. So fucking lame. Why does this keep happening with a race coming up??? We'll see what happens. Fear the dear and dirty 30 in jeopardy again and just when I was getting the stoke back.

Hopefully not running will prevent thrill is from becoming an "injury"

great sleep. passed out on the couch again... good sign the training is going well!

rolled out just after 7 and it was kinda cold and foggy. headed up and did the deer creek climb and started getting really foggy again. flipped it at the top and froze my ass of descending... and never got warm again. 3 hours of being cold and having numb fingers and toes. kinda miserable but got it done.

good sleep and up early again. need to break this cycle.

easy jog to drop off ruby and the a hood lap. felt ok. legs tired from run and strength yesterday.

sunhine and singletrack. mellow ride out to south valley and deer creek. legs tired for sure.

Fi was super tired and went to bed at 630... i was close behind. crashed on the couch at 7, then to bed at 830, up at 430 wide awake.

fi ended up sleeping until 730. 13 hours. awesome. she usually sleeps 10-11 hours.

met john at 6 at deer creek. don't usually run out their early alone due to the critters! good to have company and hopefully this will be a regular run.

starting to feel good running again. was getting ahead of john on the climbs and descents without pushing... wasn't the case last time i ran with him.
