morning - 7.5 Parkway.  Well tested out the leg today.  Ran over to practice and joined the team for their 5 miler, then home and out with Pyper.  There was some pain.  Definitely not all gone, but better than the other day.  (If I put the Thursday/Friday level of pain at a 6, I would put today at a 4.)  So I'll keep icing and ibu and take the afternoon off again.  Maybe more progress tomorrow.  Also learned that one of my Varsity boys has a stress fracture - bummer; he's booted for a month.  (Stratus grey 981.35)

morning - 4.5 Dirt Mile.  Up to the dirt and a couple laps.  Leg was a little better than yesterday - maybe .5 down on the scale (3.5).  Now, I would say it feels like a bad case of tendonitis would feel like for a couple days.  Hopefully I can take it down a notch tomorrow too.  The big bummer realization for today was that my weekend run is not going to happen - I'll be up by Duck Creek Fri/Sat and I was going to run the Virgin Rim Trail (or at least part of in) on Fri - I have the whole day to do nothing.  But even if I am feeling a bit better, I don't think a 32 mile trail run would be the wisest thing.  So, I am going to do that some time soon.  (Stratus grey 986.85)

morning - 10.5  Grapevine/Highland.  Longest run of the week on my leg.  A little more improvement today - just little increments, but at least it is improvement.  Ran with the Varsity boys and Tyson and Trevor out to Grapevine and up Highland and down around in a loop.  I've always liked this run from way back when I was a teenager, so it was good to do it again - even if the desert isn't the same as it used to be.  (Stratus grey 997.35)

morning - 5.5 Grass.  Another shorter single day.  Get better leg; I am about to go nuts.  Kept the shoes on for the grass run, which I really hate, but I should keep the support of the shoe and the Super Feet I have in there (this week is the first time I have ever tried them.  Hopefully they are providing that little extra support I need right now).  (Stratus grey 1002.85)

morning - 6.5 Mustang Pass.   Met up to Green Springs for practice today and ran out in the desert.  I was a little worried about how the varied terrain would feel on the leg, but it was okay.  It is always a fun run out there.  I wish more kids were there today, but a lot were gone out of town and missed out on a good trail run.  (Stratus grey 1009.35)

Another kind of junk week, but I can't dwell on it.  My leg is showing a lot of improvement, so I guess that is a positive.  It has been tough though.  I wanted to run this awesome trail I read about when I was up by Navajo Lake this weekend, but wasn't able too.  I could only run singles and decided to take today off again to extend the weekend a little extra.  So hopefully it will all turn out positive and I can continue to see improvement this coming week.

Goals for next week:  Like I said, continue to improve and try to hold up mentally when I am not running as much as I would like.  I have had people say that it is probably nice to be running so much less, but truthfully I just love running and everything that it means to me that, no, not really in any way is it nice to not be running so much.
