Easy 5 miles this morning. 7:36/avg.  I'm not even freaking sore today!  What gives?

I wonder if Tim Noakes is really right after all with his theory of the central governor and it's relationship to the number of hard marathons you have run in the past.  The theory being that the more of them you run in a lifetime the slower your times will become after a period.  Gave me something to think about on this mornings run thats for sure.  Ugh.. Very depressing thought.

Easy 6 miles on 7th.  7:10/mi avg.  Ankle is sprained and stings a little but improved by mile 3 which is good.   Ice and IB again.   I can only think of the words of Paul that I heard earlier on the radio this morning.  Romans 5:3-5 "but we glory in tribulations also" over and over it stayed with me on the run.

AM-Easy 6 miles on 7th. 7:06/mile average. Legs feel really zippy but I have to keep things sane. Still getting stinging in the heel though but it doesn't seem to be getting worse. Knock on wood..  Just keeping it easy and real for a while.  To help speed healing I think I'm going to go get a book on vegetarian nutrition and possibly change to a gluten free diet also.  But slowly..  That is NOT going to easy at my house especially with Easter coming LOL!  Bring on the PEEPS!

PM-Easy 6 miles this afternoon at 7-8/min pace.  Warmed up slowly again to loosen up the tendon and felt ok.  I kept thinking to myself you know as tough as it was I'm glad I bailed on Saturday.  I lived to fight another day.. Too many races have I gutted out only to have paid the price later in prolonged recovery and with a lot of downtime.  One race resulted in feet so torn and bloody from the downs of Deseret News that the nurse at a med tent thought that stitches might be necessary!  I did not walk for 2 days afterward  LOL!   No.. This was definitely a smart and wise decision this time.  

PM2-4 miles on 7th and trax at 6:30-7/min pace.  Felt good:)

Easy 10 miles this morning up 7th and 9400s.  Felt dull and achy around the ankle and now it's pulling on the lower calf muscle more.  It became so tight and sore by the time I got into work I was limping.  After talking to some friends at work I think it's time to pull the bike out.  Maybe I'll take it out to the copper mine and back.  Who knows it may be the best thing for me right now.
