3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) Personal: I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races. |

| 30 mins easy with 4x100m strides
0.28 mi in 2:42, 9:39 min/mi AP. My hip is jacked. It feels like it's not even in the socket. Need to see a chiro!

| Chiro did a bunch of manipulations, loosened SI joint on both sides. It helped temporarily although I noticed after the session my quad felt tight again. I think my quad is just too tight and pulling things out of wack. I plan on going to Bikram yoga tomorrow. I used to go to Bikram 1x/week when training for Disney and that seemed to keep my body balanced.

| Woke up with my hip finally feeling like it's in the socket. Went to Bikram and realized my glute med is super tight as well as my knees and lower back. Squatting didn't hurt and I felt quite a bit looser after class. My hip felt like it was in the socket the rest of the day, just the quad felt a bit tight.

| Light core work, arms, and calves in the morning. Chiro worked more on loosening up adhesions in the left glute, did scraping on quad, and loosened SI joints. Had 90 min massage later which was useless because the guy didn't even know what the TFL is. Quad is loosening, sometimes there was no tightness.

| 15 mins elliptical then 15 mins treadmill @ 3.5 mph and 7% incline. This was to check where my hip/quad is at. If I couldn't do this, definitely would not be able to run. Elliptical felt fine, but my feet always go numb ~ 10 mins in so switched to treadmill, where I figured the incline would be harder cardio and also took a bit of tension off the quad muscle. Did body weight lunges and step up with 0 pain 0 tightness. Also did calves and core and threw in a few pushups. Finished up with stretching and worked the trigger point ball deep in the piriformis attachments. I'm beginning to forget about my quad, but notice tightness every once in a while especially after sitting or standing for a while.

| 0.25 mile walking wu, then 6x[3 mins run easy, 2 mins walk], then 0.25 mile walking cd. Paces for runs were: 9:53, 9:22, 9:50, 8:44, 9:16, 9:15. Running felt so weird! But my quad felt pretty decent. 4th interval felt completely normal, 5th interval quad felt the most tight. Stretched and foam rolled after. Then went to Bikram. I noticed a big improvement in my flexibility today. I'm starting to feel strong again. My quad and hip felt really good on the walk home, then later in the day I forgot I was injured! :)
