Event: Billygoat
 

YAY! Billygoat! My foot didn't hurt either! I took the right fork and skipped 15. The forking was wierd, I never actually knew it was there... I just automatically went for the better one (yes, right was better). I never really had any significant mistakes besides 20 (that was pretty bad...). But in general, it was a good race. I was moving quickly and reading my map well. I was behind/near people for most of the race, but not following (except for the 1st 3...).

Billygoat - Splits

Decided to bike while I watched something online. It felt really good to be working hard again!

So the doctor told me today that I either have extensor tendonitis (like I thought) or a stress fracture (which I don't think because it should hurt more). Anyway, same solution for both, rest and drugs!

Narrowed to problem down to the tendon in/for my big toe. Not really sure what to do for it. I've read I should stretch my calf muscle, ice, and take anti-inflamatories...

Jogged around on the bike path to test out my ancle. Final Verdict: Not fixed yet. For some reason, i really wanted to run fast, so I did (hence the high HR) It definately wasn't as bad as monday, but it was hurting more when i got back than it had when I started. Oh well....

This was a lot harder than I remember it being... I'm going to do 15 minutes of rowing later, though. My ancle didn't bothe me while on the bike.

I was originally going to go for 15 minutes but i forgot my workout was only half that. Normally I would do 4 min hard, 45 secs easy, 2min more hard and finish with 45 seconds easy (total 7:30). This time, after 4 i decided to go for 5hard to start, when i got to 5 i decided to just do the whole workout which, due to oxygen debt, i thought was only 6:30. When i got to 6:00 i remembered what it was supposed to be. I just did the whole 7:30. 5 min after, I was done, my arms started cramping. It was definately not the best idea to do that... but oh well.

Right foot is worse today. Mom seems to think it's tendonitus, but I don't really know. It's a very strange problem. It's on the top of my foot and hurts when I flex my toes (pushing off). Every once in a while I'll get a really bad pain but it only lasts for a few second.

Couldn't run so i biked over to Catamount and biked around on the hilly side. I had to quit a lot sooner than I would have liked because my back was hurting. I'm 100% sure it's from not having biked much, so it's not another injury.

So I've had a pain in the side of my hip for a while now, but today the top of my foot really hurts...

Bad run, the first 5k was good (by that i mean at the pace I wanted to be at), but the second half was just brutal! As I mentioned in my note, my foot was hurting (still is and it's been an hour and a half... :S) I'm afraid it will turn out to be another weird bump, but maybe it's just agitation from the thingymadoer on my shoe (that measures my speed, distance, etc.) I just didn't feel good today... :S
