EXTREME MAKEOVER 2012

I can tell that I am finally recovering from the WBR.  I actually woke up before my alarm went off, that hasn't happened for long time.  My back is still a little sore but I can tell that it is feeling better.  I ran over to Woodland Hills Dr and then up to the mailboxes and then over to Loafer  and up to Elk Ridge City office and then back home.  I felt really good on the uphill and tried to keep it slower on the downhill.  It looks like Elk Ridge City might be having a 10k, someone has marked a course out going up Loafer Dr?  I will have to check into that and see.  I hope the back holds out this week, so that I can get some good miles in.

total run time for 10 - 1:13:47

I really have struggled getting out of bed since the WBR.  I finally did manage to get up and get going, but it close to 6:00 so I only had time for the 5 mile square.  It was a great morning, my right calf locked up on me when I was heading out the door.  I stretched it and then put on my calf sock and it really didn't bother me after that.  I will run easy the rest of the week and then maybe do a longer tempo run on saturday.

total run time for 5.5- 38:42

No running today!  Shoveled rock last night and tweeked my lower back!  It is sore today, I think that I could run but I am going to wait until Saturday!  No sense in hurting it long term!  

Back is feeling better today.  I did play softball last night and my calves started locking up on me.  I am falling apart!  I will rest again tomorrow and I just found out that my lovely wife booked me a massage for tomorrow!  I hope to be back and running by Saturday, I feel fine to run now, but I will wait! "i hope" no promises though.

I ran with kellie and the Heidi's this morning.  My back has been hurting me all week so I had to run shorter today.  I ran from Salem over to my parent's house in S.F. and then I had a full day with Iceland Days!  I felt pretty good on the run, back didn't hurt at all.  It is still sore but not as bad as tues-fri.
