Started from the bottom now I'm…slowly improving

Usually I enjoy grass runs but lately they have not been my thing! I can tell from missing most of last week im out of it. My legs felt super heavy while running. I finally did striders for the first time! I actually kinda liked them :) what i did not enjoy was the immediate feeling of barfing once i stopped. Thats prolly like my number one fear in life. haha anyway on the bright side my legs are feeling tons better! they still hurt a little but not nearly as bad as they did in these past two weeks!

ran at wccc. only went one. couldnt get off the floor for 10 mins after run cause my shins hurt so bad. limped to car. still doing exercises. 

AMBER STEPPED IN POOP!! HAHAHA :D Good thing i went to practice today huh? Today was actually pretty fun. I ran with amber for lap and a half then i slowed down cause i was dying and she kept running. Soon after Roberts and the girls passed me so i ran with tayboy. Was neat to see how it felt to be up with the fast girls for one side length of a lap till i finished ;) My shins hurt but not to the point where i couldnt walk. I did striders with Amber after and i did 5. more then last time but still not all of them...but improving so thats good!! knee is starting to hurt a little more guess all i can keep doing is icing and all that crud. hoping this shiz heals faster cause its not making me happy! (kinda grumpy actually..Abel knows how that feels. right bud? ;) 

30/30 workout-I was worried about the work out today cause I haven't done it before. It wasn't too bad cept my distance is really short so to go the right amount of distance I go purdy slow. If it wasnt for my hip giving me troubles, I would have been able to go many more laps. Props to all the fast kids..it was neat to see my friends really pushing themselves..makes me wanna do better!! Mile cool down..hip killed but ran through it. And now i can't walk..hopefully i can just stretch it out and it will be good! 

Three cheers for positive update today!!! wahoo! Today was actually the best run i have had in a while!! So I was planning on running 2 or 3 if my legs were holding up..Prolly about half a mile in i figured i could do 2 miles total..boy was i wrong! As i was running i kept looking for the dang mile markers telling me to turn around but i never saw it so i just kept running once people started running back i asked how far they are running most said three so  i thought well the marker cant be far! then when shaylee started coming back i joined her and on the way back we pasted the 1 1/2 marker...which meant i went 4 miles total! granted i walked quite a bit but hey! double the amount of distance i have  EVER gone WITH injured shins and hip? not too shabby:)

camping with fam at pine valley. wanted to go two but was super hilly and hard. plus the altitude wasnt helping

Went to the physical therapist and got some orthotics and he told me to just go on a little run to see if they will work. They help out lots! no pain during or after my run cept the blister that was created from part of my foot being pinched between the shoe and insert. we trimed it and stuff so hopefully that helps.

2 miles up at xc camp

i ran most of the way there.. almost two full miles! def the longest i ran without stoping. that was also the hardest i have ever pushed myself!! walked a lot back tho my feet started hurting bad..and when i got back to camp i figured out why..a blister the size of a 50 cent piece right smack in the middle of my arch. due to this i could hardly walk and wasnt able to run the rest of the time at camp.
