Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Yay I have internet at my house again. Oh happy day! It is slower than tar but man that was a rough 10 days without internet. Now to explain the 6 miles.

AM #1: I got in my car this morning to drive to the gym and just couldn't bring myself to do it. It was such a beautiful morning and I didn't care if I just had to walk for an hour I wasn't going to be stuck in a nasty gym on a Saturday morning. After massaging out my upper calf with the techniques that Allie and Bam both suggested I thought just maybe I had worked something out and wanted to experiment. So I went with the Andrea Gallo technique and walked a half a mile and then gradually added jogging. I have to admit that it still ached pretty bad for the first half mile of jogging but after a half mile the pain seemed to turn into just a dull stiff niggle in my upper calf. I continued with the walk-jog technique for 3 miles and then just jogged the last 3. I don't think I'm completely in the clear by any means but I do think that whatever is going on is in the calf and not the knee but the knee is the area most effected. I also think it is just a knot and although I worked most of it out there is still a nagging niggle! 6 miles in exactly 60 minutes not including the first half mile that I walked.

AM #2: Took Izzy out to a trail in Salem afterwards and walked 2-3 more miles. I'm pretty sure my entire 8.5 mi today took me almost as long as the marathon last week. But I did enjoy it! Perfect weather today and I'm antsy to get back outside and go for a hike or something.

I'm planning to get a deep tissue sports massage tomorrow and hopeful that it will work out the knot that seems to be causing all this pain. Even if it does I'm taking it easy for 2-3 maybe more weeks. It was so dang nice to just sleep in this morning and feel like I had a real Saturday! It's been awhile since I haven't either raced or been way focused on training and I really enjoyed it.

PM: Went for a hike up Payson canyon with the pup. Wow, wow, wow it is absolutely gorgeous up Payson Canyon right now.

Sound nice. I would sleep in and then go on a hike to see all the leaves changing before you are in training mode again.

You are addicted! I had that same pain at Ragnar it killed like the dickens but I still ran up that mountain. I am slightly more insane than you! I am typing on someones laptop iPad I mean so grammar is out the window

10 dats off completely is magical. All your muscles are torn like an open wound. Takes 10 to 14 days to heal. You could be opening up that wound. I am one to talk.

Be careful Rachelle!! Glad you seem to be on the mend.

Hope its only a little niggle! :-)

We're going to try and plan something fun for next weekend - a fall colors hike or something like that... I think Andrea is doing enough gallo-walking that she'll be able to handle it now.

Jake - I would totally be in for a nature hike. After this afternoons adventure though I must admit that I'm not the best hiker. I think we took a break every .1 mi. :)

I'm glad you've found something that will help you get back to enjoying your drug of choice :) Listen to your body, and it won't lead you astray!

The canyons are absolutely GORGEOUS right now! I totally agree with that one. A hike up the canyons would be perfect - and stopping that often is only because you needed to look around :)

Ugh, niggles. I hate those! But for your sake, hopefully it is just that:)
