I did not run today because of the pain I experienced on Saturday evening and yesterday morning. I've been ice bath dipping my leg each morning (it is sooooo cold and my toes are so numb when I am done!). I've also massaged round blocks of ice into my shin a couple times a day. My hubs has been massaging my leg with his strong hands. And, of course, I've been using my e-power machine on the leg, which stimulates muscle metabolism and blood supply. I already feel about 70% better. Amazing! I think I will still be good to go for Saturday's Provo City half. I hope I can pull off some speedy stuff without hurting myself. I can still have a hope right? You never know! Today I did: strength training and 50 minutes on the elliptical. Fat burn heart rate zone. Random side note: I was 'featured' ( I guess that's what you'd call it) on the facebook page of "recipes for Gals in figure and body building". My first marathon picture and brief description of that day. It had over 10,00 hits for the day ( according to the page owner/admin) and over 100 likes. I got about 30 personal messages in my FB inbox. Women asking me how I train, or how to get faster. It was an honor to try & answer them. I hope the best for everyone that enjoys running.
