Ran with Mike and Bill. Did our usual friday loop from the running store. Took my leg about 7.5 mi to warm and to feel decent. Until then I counting down the miles til the run would be over. Its just not fun to run when part of your body is bothering you. I didnt run yesterday, my leg just felt not very good and my foot kept going numb at work. Ya know my hamstring/calf and qaud always gets tight but there is never any pain involved, my hamstring now has pain involved and that has me worried so until the marathon I am going to be very conservative and cautious. My base is there and its too close to not to be careful! ( I see April tomorrow, so hopefully that will help) I dont want my mileage to suffer to bad over the next 3 weeks but I am going to be careful if my leg is still acting up.

Drank Endurox and 15 min ice bath

Great job and way to be smart! We want you feeling great on marathon day!

Running is painful enough without running on an injured leg or other body part. Good luck with getting the muscle tightness worked out.

Great pace for being sore and injured. The ice should really help. Are you using the Endurox for recovery or during the run?? Havent tried that kind yet.

I get numbness in my toes. And have found out that it is extreame tightness in the tibialis anterior so get that worked really good as well as the calf. I think this is why I am having the ankle issues right now. Man o man what we do to run!
