Progression Daily

I came into this morning feeling really confident that I would be able to crank out some good mileage with no pain. Thanks to some nice treadmill running on my cruise I had some good postitive vibes about my leg.  Then first day of xc I get out towards the dirt mile and the same pains came circling back. I do not understand how I can run fine on a treadmill but be hurting on a dirt trail. I might have to see a doctor so I can figure out whats up. I want to have a healthy xc season so I can help the kids! 

Ran a little grass with the crew. Doctor presribed me some anti-imflamatory so we'll see how that goes. 

Made it 15 minutes before my leg flared up so I stopped to stretch. Then continued on with Luke Huddleston. 

AM: Ran with Josue, Gabe, and some others for about 10 minutes until my knee area started hurting. I hobbled back to the school. The pain felt different than the usual so maybe that’s a good thing? 2.77 miles

PM: Hiked then jogged a little with Marieta as she came back from a run on cedar mountain. .52 

I watched my dad and Marieta run well in the SG 10k and it made me hate being injured even more. Hiked Blow Hard afterwards, and jogged a little. 

I felt really sore this morning. I think the Blow Hard trail got the best of me. 

30 with Carson as he gets back into it. 

So I am thinking I need to shake out my legs every morning before running with the team. My body is going through pains and soreness I have never experienced. It's all about adjusting and learning. I felt pretty good (decent) playing ultimate and capture the flag, which was a huge surprise. 

AM: Drove up close to the grapevine trail so I could do the uphill portion with some of the boys. Ended up running 10 minutes with Bryan, Tavin, Jason, and Sr Del Toro. My legs were sore legs but no injury pains so that’s great! 2.35 miles 

PM: Ran with Metler and Marieta on the Loop. Got covered in bugs and could only go about 3 miles. No injury pain still. Good signs but I am not getting cocky yet. I am looking forward to running in the afternoons with Metler, even if its only for a mile or two.  3.02 miles

5 minute warm by myself.

Then 41 minutes with Ethan, Elijah, Josh, and Bobston. I’m stoked I was able to complete a run with the goon squad. 5.02 miles 

5 minute warm up with Marieta. 

Negative split run. I had to stop and stretch on the way out past Tonaquint. On the way back I mainly ran with Jason. It felt different picking me up the speed on the way back. My body didn’t feel quite ready. 18 minutes out/16 minutes back. 4.53 miles. 

Ran some random road with Marieta and Ross. I had calf problems still. 

Ran a fun trail next to Oceanside Harbor with Marieta. I had to stop and stretch the calves again. 

Ran more random hilly roads in Vista California with my Dad. My calves still wouldn’t let me run the hills. I’m disappointed about the calves but at least it’s not my old injury. I miss the xc team already. 

AM: Heritage Park and up past the liquor store. I had the usual struggles. Boston and the crew came back for me on the steep hill. They made me feel welcomed and stuck with them the rest of the run. Soon I will overcome this nonsense. 3.70 miles 

PM: Marieta’s chiropractic Dad did some work on my leg. I should have had him work on both legs. 2 slow miles in the heat of Las Vegas with Marieta. 2.01 miles 

Ran a little in some lame hot Vegas streets. 1.99 miles
