Ran 10 miles after work. My last two patients of the day cancelled last minute so I was able to head out a little earlier. Wore shorts and t-shirt, so nice not to be bulked up in excess clothing. Just took it really easy, felt some restriction in my quad. Cant wait to see April again tomorrow! She is my new favorite person right now. Stopped to stretch around mile 2 and never restarted my garmin so nice pace or time but I can tell you I was a slug:) Now I going to do my little home weight routine.

Also dranks orange endurox (sp?) recovery drink. Had the chocolate at Mikes on sat. It really seemed to help.

Reg tues run, pretty uneventful. Kept my miles lower today just to be careful and not overdue it since my quad was feeling it during the weekend and yesterday. See April tonight to get worked over.

So I went and got my leg worked on again. My quad had been getting really tight. I had a really bad knot at the top of my quad that she thinks has been stemming all my issues with my leg. When she was working on it but whole leg just went nuts, it was totally shaking/quivering and then all the muscles around it curled up.She said that shows how that has been affecting my whole leg, pulling on all the other muscles.So hopefully this helps relax EVERYTHING. I am pretty sore in my quad with a gigantic bruise. She said that was a huge release for my leg so to stay off it today. So I just did some weights and core exercises. She also did worked on my other leg a little since it has been compensating for so long. But legs are pretty fatigued from getting the works! I hope I feel great tomorrow running!

Nice easy run today, one of the girls in our group that has been a pregnancy hiatus started back today so that was treat to run with her. Leg felt pretty good today. Will possibly add more miles tonight but thats up in the air. I want still ease back and not put to manymiles on my legs. Right now its more important to listen to my body then trying to rack up the miles. I need to be smart so my leg can get totally healed up.

Could not fall asleep last night, finally around 1 or 2 I did then I kept waking up about every half hour, arrrggg! Got up and went and did an easy 9. Did laps around my neighborhood til it got a little lighter and then did a 5 mi loop. Was planning on doing only 8 but felt good and had time so I added another mile. I actually have to go in this morning to work for some patients that come from out of town and can only come fridays and then cub scouts this afternoon:)

Ran 7 with my gal pals and then added the rest on by my lonesome, it was one of those days where I needed someone for the whole time. Some days I dont mind being on my own, in fact its good to be able to clear your mind but today I was struggling mentally and just needed someone those last 8 miles to pass the time. My leg felt good so that was a plus but still dont feel like I can pick up the pace and take off, still some restriction/resistance present. I dont think I will be doing Ogden or Striders1/2.
