Evening run, temp 85'

Dallas's Soccer coach asked for a volunteer to help condition the team once a week.  My wife volunteered me.  We did core stuff and did a 2 mile run and some sprints and some relay games.  For the 2 mile run I had garmin hold me to an 8 minute mile.  Most of the boys stayed with me, some started lagging the second mile.  They all thought it was cruel punishment.

My leg is still bugging me.  I was hoping those pills would do the trick.  When I do the stretches prescribed it always makes it hurt.  I'll have to ask the Doc to see if I'm suppose to stretch it the way they showed cause it flares it up.  However, when I took several weeks off and made sure I wasn't doing anything to make it flare up it didn't go away.  Stupid leg. 

I hope I can make it to the finish line at SGM with this new low mileage program I'm on.

Morning run, temp 63'

I decided I wanted to see if there was any marathon speed in my legs.  I went out and pushed the pace.  The leg didn't hurt to much.  I'm a little skeptical but maybe the leg is getting a little better.  Anyway, I was able to get a decent pace going concidering the lack of training.  Sadly my hips ache a little from just 7 miles.

Morning Run, Temp 51'

If I could just find an out and back course that is uphill both ways my leg wouldn't hurt.

Morning run, temp 45'

Great morning for a run, nice cool weather to help the leg out.  The 3 IBprofin worked well.  The pain on the down hill was very low.  Best the leg has felt yet.  Hope the trend continues and I don't flare it up trying to push in some higher mileage. 

I was getting run down by the end of the 13 miles.  13 more after that would have been rough.  SGM be kind to me.
