morning - .5 PV.  Yes, a whole 1/2 mile!  Seemed like I had really worked the hammy/glute over the past 2 days and had maybe loosened it up.  Thought I would just go and warm up with the team today before their workout and if it felt okay I would cool with them too, but... Pain was intense and immediate.  (Landreth blue 989.65)

afternoon - 1 AC.  Not really Arctic Circle since I only got a mile, but that's the direction Abel and I went.  Hey, doubled this morning's workout!  (Kinvara 864.4)

AM - 2 Dirt Mile.  Big day; doubled the miles!  At this rate, I will be running 64 milers in no time.  A small amount of progress, but at least it is progress.  (Connect 600.5)

I'll take the afternoon off since we have our first XC meet this evening up in Cedar - let the good times roll!

AM - 3 Maverick.  Pain was much less today, but there is a very noticeable weakness in the right leg.  Maybe I can turn the corner on this in the next couple days.  (F50 534.75)

AM - 4 AC.  Ran one before practice and then 3 with the team.  They went a little faster than I have been going so far this week and it was a little bit of a test of the leg.  Still very weak, some pain.  (Kinvara Lime 203.25)

AM - 5 DI/AC.  Woot! 5, eat that suckas.  About the same as yesterday - not a ton of pain, pretty weak.  (Kinvara silver 161.25)

AM - 8 Mall.  Ran from home over to the strip mall to try and have about as flat as run as possible.  Leg felt decent and held up okay over 8 miles.  It actually hurts worse when I am not running.  (F50 542.75)

Week was a bummer; but I should take something positive and say that at least I am running a bit and it is improving a little.

Goals for next week: get the leg healthy enough to actually run decent on.  I would love to get into some workouts, but I think that may be further off than I want to admit.

Ended up going in for a massage tonight.  It was one of the most painful experiences of my life.  April said that the hammy had basically flipped... who does that?  She thought she made a lot of progress on it - we'll see how much it helps.  I am going back in Wednesday evening.  I think I could have used about 5 more hours just on that spot.
