45 minutes aquajogging and 15 mins running. Starting tommorrow, I begin an official build up to mileage. I will begin at 10 mins for three days, then increase to 15 mins for three days, then 20 mins for three days (etc...) until I hit 30 mins. After that I will make some larger increases, assuming I am pain free. Of course, I will be utilizing the elliptical and pool to supplement my lack of longer running. I will probably be using the pool all summer (even if it is just one or two days a week), to really ease myself back into the swing of things. A year ago, I would have been worried about my current situation. Seeing as I had to make the team, I needed to be fit by the end of August. Now, the goal is to be at peak shape in mid-November. Not that I plan on being out of shape come beginning of XC season, but the ultimate goal is to be most fit when it really counts (Nationals timeframe). Furthermore, I was dead by mid October (just after pre-nats) last season, so I think that my delayed start will put me in the correct timeframe for peaking. July will be used to get back to consistent, aerobic running, while August will be used to prepare myself for the rigorous workouts we do in XC. Muscularly, I need to be ready for those beast workouts. I am really excited! My comeback is forming!

| 10mins running, 30mins of the elliptical & 30mins aquajogging. Soon I will graduate to 15 mins running! Big step...mileage board beware! Maybe I'll just triple my cross training miles and count them as running miles - then I'm sure to be at the top. I go to the massage therapist on Friday to get my soleus worked out. Hopefully it will not be as painful as Mark Plaatjes...whew that guys massages are brutal. Worst part is, last time he massaged over my stress fracture before we knew I had one! That grosses me out, him pushing really hard on my broken leg (good thing it didn't fully crack!). It was actually a pretty funny sight, me squiming on the bed like a worm (pretty much in tears), while he just emotionlessly digs his fingers around in my leg. Oh the pleasures of running! | | Comments(2) |

Easy miles on grass, followed by 30mins aquajogging. I had a massage therapy session today, and it really loosened my soleus. I could feel a noticeable difference in overall flexibility and suppleness in the spot where it tore. Running felt great! | | Comments(1) |

| I ran to the rec center, aquajogged, then ran back. This seems to be a great way to combine the two activities - jog where you need to cross train, then jog back! Good day! | | Add Comment |
