killer ride with christine and jenny. backing up the days. perfect weather too....

hit the wohlford loop and I was kinda sluggish until we got to the the climb to lake wohlfortd. I decided to pick it up a bit and it opened me up and I was solid the rest of the day. the cycling legs are coming back with the quickness.

BWR should be fun.

hit with maggie. new driver and iron... awesome. small adjustments. sunday awesomeness!

C • "Tiger" Walsh ya'... 5

rise and grind. time to get on the bike. motivated to ride.

solid day in the saddle... and a little frustrating. rolled out with kurt, brian, and shelby. its was SLOW going at the start. Brian and Kurt peeled off to ride a little harder and I stayed with shelby. she was having mechanical issues and then knee pain, called for pick up and then i rode home alone... and it was nice.

feeling good on the bike and kind of stoked to get back in bike shape and then translate into even better, more balanced run shape. this injury was a good thing in a way. got me back on track and I'll be smarter going forward.

awesome sleep in. pouring rain so no riding. i am not going to force anything. rest and sleep are key right now.

everyday is getting a little better. not nearly as sore as i was last week.

C • 3.0 2

quick rehab sesh at lunch.
20 min on stationary bike to get loose
stretching
200 sit ups on ball

awesome sleep after a long day.

the pain in my quad seems to be getting less and less each day, but it's still there.

got on it before the rain. feeling better on the bike, and getting more stoked every time i ride. thinking of awesome ways to incorporate it ino my run training and even jump into a couple late season road races. i will for sure race some cross this fall/winter.

headed down to TP for some hill repeats. 2 inside, 2 outside. not worrying about time or power. just putting in the work. i need to build back up.

no stress on leg.

upperbody. might as well rebuild the guns since i can't lift with the legs.

massage with shari. a week off of running and all the tissue in my body is good. super loose. relaxing massage. solid nap.

Another solid 8. Once daily savings time comes around I am going to shoot for some BIG sleep!! More sleep = quicker recovery!!

Not as sore as waking up this morning. Still trouble/discomfort standing on one leg putting pants on. the "pain" is in the middle of my quad but all have sensations up into the hip/groin area. pretty sweet.

MRI this morning. Stoked! I am just hoping it shows something so I can wrap my head around this and stop wondering. Either way I am ready to rest and just let it heal.

Big day on the work front. I have a "mandatory" team dinner up in Ontario from 6-8. not awesome. gonna be a late night.

Booyah... so stoked.
MRI results

IMPRESSION:
No stress fracture. No stress-related bone edema. No bursitis, tendon tear or tendonitis. Long thin area
of stress-related periosteal edema or vascularity along the surface of the medial femoral cortex distal
mid shaft. No underlying stress fracture or bone edema

so it's a "stress reaction". Basically i caught it and stopped it right before it fractured. Treatment is still the same. No running, no weight bearing. I can ride and swim (not sure about that). Just stoked to know. It was for sure me finding my limits. running the 100 mile week and then backing it up with 91 and 2 races. Never again.
