| My heel/achilles pretty much hurts non-stop these days. I really should go to the doctor cause it's been over 4 months and just not getting better. I did elliptical and then ran today, ignoring the pain.
My second child is the first alternate for her cross country team for state. She actually ran faster than the last varsity girl for the past month but the coach doesn't like to swap things around. The team is good, ranked 2nd in the state. The JV team would beat most varsity teams (my faster daughter got 2nd at the JV County meet with about 20 teams in the race, but would have been 29th place in the varsity in a field of 150 runners.)
Last Saturday was state qualifiers- all the teams are split into 2 heats, with the top 8 from each heat advancing to state finals next Saturday. The coach decided to rest their legs (which I don't think is necessary, as it's only a 5k and a week between races). She had all her girls run 60-90 seconds slower than normal, thinking they team would finish 5th or so (again, not what I would ever do as I don't want to tempt fate). It worked out, though, as the team still placed first in their heat, winning by 2 points.
So Saturday will be state, though my daughter won't race unless someone comes up sick or injured. Hope the team runs well. The number 1 team is much better than everyone (top 4 runners under 19 min), then there's 3-4 really close teams vying for the rest of the podium.

| 12 people. My team lost 2-5 (I had two hit me in the hands that I dropped, not something I do often). But then we won 3-0.

| very sore after yesterday's frisbee (plus stayed up too late at Dave Matthews Band concert here in Greenville). no running, only elliptical and lots of stretching/foam rolling
Just curious, what recovery methods do FRB use? I generally foam roll and use a Stick for 15 min each day on my legs and a bit on the back. Anyone else do that, or other things?

| State cross country meet. Very rainy, cold, windy, muddy. In other words, honest XC conditions. My 2nd daughter was the team alternate but one girl got sick Friday night so my daughter was informed she'd run an hour before the race. The team was one of the pre-race favorites. Most of the team ran well- 3 were All-state (top 15). Unfortunately, the team's fastest runner (ranked 4th in the state) fell with the mud less than 4 minutes in, severely injuring her butt/leg. She still finished but was about 2 minutes and 40 places behind her normal. She's a senior so that's a tough way to finish high school XC. My daughter finished 6th for the team. The team ended up placing 3rd overall (beat 4th place by a single point), which is good considering top runner got injured and 4th runner was sick and DNS. Looking at the times, if the top runner hadn't been injured and had even a mediocre race, my daughter's team would have won. It wsa a fun season, and they seem stacked to compete for more years.
Then went and watched my 4th play in soccer tourney. In 3 games, she scored 5 of her team's 6 points.
