REST

As of today, I will be taking a 3-week break from running. I need to try to focus my attention on getting rid of the tendinitis that I am still struggling with. I had thought that it was getting better, but after Monday's run I realized that it may be getting worse. Somehow I must have started training a little too hard to soon. That being said, I am still hopeful that I can get back to training in 3 weeks.

Monday/December 28

4.2 mi(run)/36:43/Nice run on a very cold and windy morning. I took my time and had very little discomfort in the adductor. Did a good bit of stretching after the run and I also iced for 15 minutes.

Saturday/December 26

10.2 mi(run)/1:31:26/Nice long run. I iced the adductor several times and the night before. I think it felt better, but still got pretty sore near the end of the run. It was a very cold morning run.

December 25/Merry Christmas!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace!

Merry Christmas

Thursday/December 24

4.3 mi(run)/38:27/Ran solo today and really took my time. Felt pretty good considering I ran harder than I wanted to on Wednesday. I iced my adductor before the run and it felt much better. Gotta get in the habit of icing as that seems to make a huge difference.

Wednesday/December 23

6 mi(run)/51:31/Nice run with my brother(BJ). He picked it up a good bit coming in and I wasn't very happy about that as I am supposed to be taking it easy. Nevertheless, I kept up with him. I felt a little sore afterwards, but still a good run with lot's of hills.

Monday/December 21

4 mi(run)/35:22/Whew, another very cold morning run! Felt great and just ran from home since I am on Christmas break from school. Took my time and felt pretty good!
