2 mile loop to the gym - leg still very tight

Wanted to run today but all of the injuries on the blog have me paranoid. So I will crosstrain until the tightness in my leg and pain is gone.

1.5 mile swim (I'm not sure that I have ever gone past one mile before but I thought "what the heck." Felt great. Albeit, I was slow.)

30 minutes upright bike

30 minutes arc trainer

20 minutes stairmaster (DANG!!! That machine is TOUGH!! I think the one I used is calibrated wrong. It registered me taking 158 steps every minute, but when I counted them it was just over 100. It also registered me as walking 198 floors in 20 minutes. I'm going to try a different machine next time and see if I get a similar result with a similar effort. There are two different types of stairmasters there.)

Around the World Core (reps of 17)

30 minutes elliptical to loosen the legs

10 miles hillwork (pain gone, tightness considerably less)

- recovery pace, raised incline .5% every half mile through mile 5 and then came back down in the reverse increasing speed.

20 minutes elliptical backwards

12.6 miles with the Chumps. Had a good size group this morning -- so so so so so glad Smooth made it! :)

Unfortunately, had major leg problems and pain. STINK. I am glad the chumps were with me because they made me stop and walk. I walked an additional 4-5 miles home, Slick was kind enough to walk me with. Thank you so much Slick, you are a wonderful friend for whom I am extremely grateful. If I had not been with the group I know I would have continued to run through the pain until I got home. Hopefully their wisdom will save me some healing time. 

** I tried to run different paces to see if anything would help. Nothing. Dang. :(

** 6 hours later:

Okay, after going through the "why can't my body handle this"  and "I am so stinkin' mad" phases I am feeling emotionally better. Here's the up side: last time I felt this type of pain was during my 22 miler before Boston. Last time I ran a whole 22 miles through it. This time, however, I only ran about half that. SO ... who knows ... maybe a week of rest is all I need! :)

I am SO SO SO glad everyone made me stop. Thanks Chumps!!!

___________

** Sunday morning:

Now that the swelling is starting to go down I don't think it is the same injury as before Boston. This might just be shinsplints. I just don't know.
