Week 8 and 9
Posted on May 20th, 2008 at 12:13 am by rice

Well i didn’t write last week because i was busy with moving back home and everything. So now i am back in Chisholm living with my parents during the summer time. I still had time to get my running in though. I have been feeling really good now. My ankle has healed and dosn’t hurt when i run anymore thank god. I finally got in my long run on Sunday. I ran 8 miles and i felt really good but my knee was starting to hurt real bad. I had surgery on my left knee in tenth grade and i think the same thing is going wrong with the right one because it pops and grindes. But i have braces for them and that will hold me through the marathon. I am going to try and ice it more as we get closer to grandmas weekend. I am really bummed that i wont be able to make it to that “dress rehersal” for grandmas. I have my sisters grad party that day and we have a lot of family coming up. But the last couple of weeks i have been following the schedule and been running up to 3 to 4 miles a day. I probably should follow it a little more though. I started taking whey protien and i think it might be helping a little. i am not getting as sore the following day. Thats what it is suppose to help with right? But the marathon is almost here and i am getting pretty excited!

Week 7
Posted on May 7th, 2008 at 3:20 am by rice

Well this week did not go so well at all! I went out rnning on wednesday and i twisted my ankle and it hurt but yet i kept running on it. So the rest of the week i just rode the bike and iced it and tried to stay off of it. Then on saturday I ran the Thrill on the Hill and boy what a crazy run that was. I did not think that was going to be all up hill like that. I will say it was not much of a Thrill. Well that run was not so nice to my ankle and i kind of was very easy on it and it made my other leg hurt. But it feels like i pulled a bunch of muscles in it. It is really kind if weird. So it was not such a good week and this week it is still hurting so i really don;t know what to do. But this is what i did last week.

Monday: Ran a few miles outside i got a horrible side ache.

Tuesday: I ran about 4 mile on the tredmil

Wednesday: I ran 3 miles and twisted my ankle

Thursday: I took the day off 

Friday: i rode the bike

Saturday: I ran the Thrill on the Hill. It was very interesting but i am glad i did it

Sunday: i took the day off i was pretty sore.

Well right now i don’t think i am even close to being ready for the marathon and i am getting pretty nervous.  I just hope i can get more into shape and more ready for it this week.
