Sun- 3 Core Creek, So sore, so tired, So weak. Right ankle, hipflexor, achilles were very bothersome. Endede this run short.

Not a bad week. Had a few bad days (Tues, Fri, Sun). But hey, almost 60 miles is a good week. Was really needing the rest week though. My right legs, ankle, hip etc was really bugging me. Sunday's outing was very painful and I felt like I was running injured. Good news thought,  no PF pain in the left foot. Still crazy to me that I walked around with stupid tingling in that foot for over a year. So thankful that at least I've had a few months without that pain.

Recovery Week

Mon- 15 minutes on the Bike .25 mile run. Top of my foot still kills. Not sure what that's about
Tues- 20 Minutes on bike. Jogged up and down the stairs. The 1.5 miles on the Eliptical Feeling better. Didn't test the foot today.
Wed- 3 miles core creek, 15 minutes biking. 2 miles eliptical.
Thurs- 5.2 core creek 38:50. Not bad considering. 15 minutes biking
Fri- 3.2 Core Creek
Sat- 10.5 White Clay Creek Park in Deleware. Great park. Great run.
Sun- Rest

This was actually a really great recovery week. No major pain or problems getting around. Had the normal issue with stairs the first few days but not much beyond that. The 166 miles for march was a bit of a bummer but considering the whole month was built around HAT I'd say the month was a success. Saturday was a great day. Ran with Justin and Talladay on some great trails. Matt had never run that far before and her did great. We had a great time planning out how will will survive the Laurel Highlands relay we are signing up for in June. Go team "Misplaced Optimism"!
