Came back from London and taking the whole vacation off from running..was so hard..Did a 3 mile the next day, felt fine. Did a 6 mile with moderate pain but ended fast and strong with no pain. Tried doing a run the next day, couldnt take more than 30 steps without 9/10 pain..Took off that day and Easter sunday to rest. Went out Monday for a 3 mile with no pain, went out yesterday and did 5 miles with minimal pain. Going out today with my friend/marathon running partner for a 7 mile. This run is going to prove a lot.
I have been stretching a lot, and icing with advil and a good amount of rolling. Also trying to do dynamic stretching before running and a long stretch after. I think I need to incorporate my rest days with strong XC on the bike/elliptical to bring up my cardio. I have 19 days until the half marathon at flower city and 47 days until the marathon. this is going to be a race and gut check to make it to the starting line healthy and able to run the marathon. lets hope all this extra work is helping the leg heal and me able to run.
