Relentless

morning - 12.5 Fields. Good long run with the team. Sure enjoy the kids that really just dig deep and push; even if it is just one or two more times than they bought possible. That is my real joy of coaching. We threw in our usual progressive tempo sections and I felt it. First time in quite awhile that I’ve run with upper Varsity boys. As always, it is going to be tough to see those seniors move on. But you know what, that is another great joy of coaching, knowing that they are going to go on to do amazing things.

AM - 5 Parkway.  Twix and I headed out as usual.  It is probably getting time to rest up the leg and get it better.  Bummed about that.  Weights and abs after.  (Boston 355.75)

afternoon - 6 GS Desert.  Planned on running, and then after the morning hurt so bad, I changed my mind.  But then all the event coaches were at practice, so I changed my mind back.  Shouldn't have.  Almost every step was very painful  Ran slow and flipped with an earlier crowd.  (Peg green 320)

AM - 7.75 Twix/AC.  I think this will be my last run for the week.  Maybe the time off and continued icing will get some real progress with the tendonitis.  Abs after.  (Ravenna 121)

AM - So the first of some zeros for the rest of the week.  Not that fun.  But sometimes you have to heal up.  Walked for 20 minutes with Twix and then came to practice and did weights and abs.  

AM - 20 min walk with Twix.  Followed that with abs and yoga.  Nothing really exciting here... leg is still hurting, but I think there is some progress.  My level of desire is fairly low.  I had a tough time letting go of stupid thoughts that are just pestering me during yoga.  Then at the end, I finally let my mind release and basically was teetering between awake and asleep.

Another zero on the run.  Walked with the dog before the meet.  Leg is seeing some progress.
