AM- This morning we had speed work. I did the warm-up. My shin was hurting pretty bad and I hoped it would warm-up, but it didn't so I did 6 strides on the grass and a 2 lap cooldown.
PM- Tonight my shin wasn't hurting as much I wanted to do the workout I missed in the morning but my dad wanted me to do the workout with the team. We ran up to sunnyside park did 1 lap around, then 8 strides and 1 longer repeat. Then we did one lap around the park and ran back to the school. Once we got to the school I still wanted to do this mornings workout so I started it and did 2 laps slow and then 2 laps speed changes but my shin still hurt and I wouldn't have been able to hit the times I needed to so I stopped. It's frustrating not being able to do important workouts. State is only 2 and a half weeks away so I just need to tough it out for that long. I just wish it would stop hurting it's been hurting for 16 weeks and I'm doing everything I can to help it heal while still running. I can't take time off because it's so close to state, hopefully it will be better by then. |
