Running

Ran the top of the divide with the team.  Me and Addi took off at the start and we flew up the mountain at like just over 7 minute pace.  Thats wayyyy faster than the last time we came up here.  Last time I ran like 9:50 pace the whole way up.. Anyways we hauled.  And then instead of turning around at 20 minutes we just went to the top because we could.  I made it in 21:54 (for future reference) and Addi was a tiny bit behind me.  We enjoyed the few for about 50 seconds and then I had Addi lead going down because I am now paranoid about leading running downhill on trails.  North Fork has ruined me. We met Paul coming up a few minutes later (he showed up late) and then we all ran down in a beautiful pack.  We made it to the bottom without incident, except for all the young children we got stuck behind.  That was rather unfortunate.

Well my knee started hurting after the run, but not at all during the run so that was weird. I figured I could just run on it and it would go away as I ran.  It didn't.  I actually only made it around the block but I was basically holding back tears by the end of it because that hurt really effing bad..  But at least I got exactly .8 miles which was enough to finish off my 6 for today.

Ran 4.5 miles with BJ at night.  I left about a half hour before I was supposed to meet him, hoping I could get in a few extra miles, but my knee hurt too bad so I just ran to the park and stretched for like 20 minutes while I waited for him.  We started running and my knee felt good for about a mile and a half, and then it gradually got worse as the run progressed.  We made it back to the park and averaged 7:05 pace.  I was really holding back BJ cuz I was dying and he was loaded with energy, and when we got to the park I layed down to die/stretch and he took several laps around the park because he's a beast.  He gave me a ride home afterwards because I couldn't really run or walk so I was just hobbling around and he's such a nice fellow that he took me home. 

Alright.  So, now everything is caught up and this is today..  Everything from June up till now has just barely been filled in.  Well, not really just barely cuz its taken a few hours but now it's all filled in!  I've done a small amount of research and I think I have ITBS in my left leg and that's whats hurting my knee.  So I don't know if it actually had anything to do with my fall, but I still feel like it does even tho that makes no sense.  But I'm taking the whole rest of this week off because all of these injuries are really really really pissing me off.  So, with the combined powers of ice and a foam roller I'm praying I can be done with this by next week.
