Weekly Review 

I've all already done my first 4 week cycle of training and all I feel like I've done is dealt with injuries. Hopefully I've put the injuries behind me and can now focus on running. This past week I think I can say I am over the calf injury. Unfortunately the lower ab thing which I researched and is called pubalgia has come back a little. It's not as bad as it was and with some stretching and specific exercises hopefully it won't get bad again. 
 

This past week was a recovery week but I ended up running 37 miles which is the most I've done so far this year. I didn't feel like I pushed anything fast though. I also cycled twice, did core work 3 times and lower body work once. 

Blake told my about some Oregon Project exercises specifically for runners that I will try out this week. I also hope to get in 5 easy miles per day plus a long trail adventure on Friday. I'm going skiing with Cade so that will take the place of my Saturday bike ride. Should be a fun week!

AM. It was a beautiful morning today.  51 degrees, calm, and still.  If every morning was like today, I would be in running heaven.  Also, today was my first pain-free, niggle-free run since November!  I did 5 easy miles on my hilly course then did some core work some of which came for the Oregon Project videos that Blake told me about.  Hopefully by adding in these exercises I can continue to run injury-free.

PM.

I went out and played soccer with the Spanish group from church tonight. I was able to contain myself and kept my effort level way down and didn't hurt myself!  For me when playing soccer that is quite the accomplishment. I still covered about 2 real easy miles in the hour and a half we played. Afterwards I did some stretching while watching TV.

AM. 25 minutes bike trainer. 25 minutes core. 
 

PM. 5 miles on the trails in Kingman after work. Unfortunately my pubalgia was a bit aggravated from playing soccer last night so I took it easy.

AM.  Pubalgia still aggrivated this morning so I did a weighted vest hill repeat walk/easy jog.  Ended up doing 15 hill repeats hiking up and jogging down for a total of 600 feet elevation gain and 5 miles. After that I did my Oregon Project exercises.

AM. Goal for today was to spend 5 hours on the trails. It was a bit windy but otherwise a nice day. I ended up getting in just under 25 miles with 3300 feet elevation gain on pretty technical trails. 
 

PM. After finishing the run, showering, and getting a bite to eat, my son and I took off for Brianhead for a ski weekend. We got here in about 5 1/2 hours. My legs tightened up a bit sitting for that long so I did my Oregon Project core work for the day and now they feel much better. I'm super excited to ski tomorrow!

i spent the whole day skiing with Cade. We had a blast. He has become a really good skier and is pushing me to be better. I wasn't sure how my body would feel today after going 25 miles yesterday. On the first run of the day my right knee hurt but then it loosened up and I had no other issues the rest of the day.
