last sunday, with the girl in town, we decided to go run to see some bison at the nearby metro parks. after the episode that i had last thurs in the run and about 1-2 days of rest, i thought all the pain on my foot should be ok by now.
so, we went running 4 abt an hour. this is after also trying on new movement prep warm-up stretch. not realizing what the surface of the trail would be, i started on a little bit faster than my normal pace, since i actually felt quite warm, and not stiff at all with the warm-up. man...was i wrong?
the surface was quite hard pack of gravel, trail, and dfntly not an even ground at all. i was able to go on the faster pace that i wanted to, but then after-wards, all the same pain in the same areas, especially the 1 area that had been therapy-ied, it all came back to haunt me. so...rite now, i'm a little worried. therefore, i decide to rest today, in prep for the upcoming harder camp work-out.
i guess at this point, i am in the place where i had to learn more about the meaning of recovery week and rest time. as u know, i am not a pro. as much as i would like all this to be my full-time job, it isn't. again, i am back to the drawing board of time management.
and, surprise, surprise, i had 1 new endurance sport friend that jst sent me about time management worksheet....wazzup with that.....? how is that possible...?
guess at least it still early in the season. thank God....

injury...
kind of sucks...
since the beginning of the year, i had this nagging pain on the inside part of my right knee. first, i thought it was jst a fatigue pain, or maybe even jst overuse, which is kind of weird to begin with, since i had not trained that hard. but then after about a couple of weeks continuing on, i felt a little worried, therefore went to see a specialist. it turned out it was a minor tendinitis.
ok...so good news and bad news...
it's good that i found out early and it was minor. bad, because that meant i had to laid down on my run. then again, it's the time when i felt the most pain.
so, solution; i went in for 3-4 session of physical therapy for it with the doc gave me some anti-inflammatory. did it help? yes, well...kind of...
after all the session fulfilled and finishing up all the prescribed med, i decided to try different type of shoes. not sure whether this was a good, or bad idea.
so...last thursday, with the very nice warmer weather in the area, after feeling everything seems to be on track with the healing process, i decided to try the new kicks. in the beginning of the run, i thought i felt great. the shoes felt light, i felt light footed, not bulky at all. i felt snazzy, and quite able to go on a faster pace. i was able to do the schedule workout well, even thought it was kind of hard workout and kind of hard with the new kicks.
but then, after the workout, i felt a little pain in the same area of the previously healed area with an addition in other areas of my calf and foot.
at first i thought....ok maybe i was just going to fast, maybe i felt over confident, maybe i pushed too hard.
so let's see....let me rest this for a day, or 2....
