Went to see the trainer today and he gave me a sleeve and told me to go try running today and see how I feel so we can gauge it for the rest of the week. Breck and I did a run to Converse Heights at 8:04 pace, felt closer to 7:45 though. Still, not a bad pace considering how long it's been since I had a workout or a full run. Leg feels pretty unstable, especially when I try to change directions on a turn or go downhill. Breck said she can see me favoring it a good bit when I run, like a light limp.

Warmed up 2 miles with the team. Leg was feeling real crappy. I told Bomar I didn't think I could do a workout seeing as I could hardly do the warm up, so he said to do a 3-4 mile progression run. Really mentally degrading session that was....I planned to start out around an easy 8:30 and slowly cut down to a safe 7:15-7:30. An easy progression, a recovery run even, on any other day. But today I don't know if I ever even went under 8, and I was genuinely trying. I just haven't run in a long time and now I'm both in pain and out of shape and it's just really hard mentally to know that. 

I had some really downer thoughts but I made a decision that no matter what I am a child of the King and I want to worship him through whatever I do. I don't know what it looks like to worship God through an injury, but it sure doesn't look like giving up.

3 miles easy at the meet (during some of the sprinting events, lol). Leg pain was the least it's been in a while. Actually felt fairly good! I'm very aware of it, especially on downhills, but it wasn't anything that made me feel like I had to stop. Moving in the right direction!
