Training or Lack there of 3/24- 3/30

Not much to report- still having a lot of trouble with my calf injury. My lower back doesnt want to seem to hold my adjustments, and the two are definitely related.

Please Move Your Token 2 Steps Backwards- training of 3/10- 3/23

For now, the plan is NO STRETCHING!!!! BIO-FREEZE, walk or test run, BIO FREEZE and ice, then sauna and core work, upper body lifting, and then repeating the first part. My calf is still tender to the touch, so I'm praying that this won't be a 2 month ordeal.


I wish I had more to report-
3/10 through 3/16: I ran a total of 30 miles, and walked 2.5; 3 lifting sessions, saunaed almost every day, with 1000 abs per sauna, and had my first visit with Steve.... Hurt calf on Monday's hill workout, acupuncture too

3/17- 3/23: Even worse: Ran 0 miles; walked 18- had chiro, acupuncture, and Steve, lots of sauna and abs, lifted 3 times also

Pain, Suffering, Misery and Frusteration. 4/10- Current

I didnt post last weeks training, so I'll be combining it with this week. Unfortunatly, just when things were really starting to look up, they took a dive for the worst.

Monday evening I was running my hill workout. I noticed my left leg, ( the weak one thats been atrophed and in a mold for so long) was feeling funny. At some point during the work out, "funny" turned to burning-

Is it a tear, or a fracture? Who knows... I'll keep you updated....

Training from 3/3 to 3/9 "No News Is Good News"

Not much new to report this week. I bumped my 4 mile loop up to a 6 mile one, mostly just because I was bored with the 4, and when I changed to 6 it didnt feel any different on my legs.
