| I would call this an Easy Three, except it didn't feel that way. How about "Should Have Been an Easy Three, But Felt More Like Swimming in Molasses?" Ok, maybe it wasn't that bad, but Monday mornings are hard sometimes, and this was no exception. I did a long run of 8 miles on Saturday and actually felt really good - no IT band flare-up, no stiffness or soreness later. If the only consequence is a sluggish Monday morning, I think I did alright. I was supposed to follow the run with a quick strength training session. I managed a whopping 15 pushups before making breakfast, doing the bills and hauling my girls off on an epic school shopping trip. I'll catch up later.....

| Ouch. That zero hurts. It's only the third time this summer that I've missed a day. On the plus side, I got to watch the opening high school XC meet. There were some impressive performances. I'm proud of my freshman son who ran well in his first high school race!

| Started my day with that strength training I was supposed to do on Monday. Better late than never, right? Two sets of 15. Not ambitious, but it makes a difference and doesn't take too long.
I felt great and had a terrible run. Or maybe I felt terrible and had a great run. I'm not sure. I was planning on a nice comfy four miles, but about half-way through my heart started palpitating, my chest aching, and my head spinning. I took the sensible route; I turned off the main road (so fewer people would see me), and I walked home. Never fear - my heart is fine. I'm prone to panic attacks and I take medication for mild hypothyroidism. I haven't had major problems for years, but anytime I get stressed I don't eat, sleep or exercise well, so I'm more likely to have problems. I think I'm also more sensitive to my medication than I used to be. Might be time to adjust things. In the mean time, I'll split my pills and take half in the morning and half in the afternoon - that way it won't all hit my bloodstream at the same time. As far as the stress - well, school starts tomorrow. I should feel more relaxed by mid-October.

| I took it easy today. My body is still working through this current episode of panic, but it's getting better. I'm down to some annoying cramping of the esophagus and a little shortness of breath. I walked a block or two near the end when I started feeling symptoms, but I picked it up and finished without a problem. I think if I'm going to be strong enough for a long run on Saturday I'd better move that number in the sleep column up to a 7 or 8. At least.
It's too bad that my first week of blogging runs has to deal with panic attacks. I really only get one or two a year any more. I've learned a lot over the last six years and this is the first time it's affected my running in quite some time. Come to think of it, my worst attacks have all been in August. School must really stress me out. Go figure. Anyway - for me, panic attacks normally start with an overwhelming fatigue (see Monday's post - might not have been the long run after all). Then I get a special headache that I call my panic headache. That was Tuesday; I knew I was in trouble then. That's usually followed by a couple days of shortness of breath, throat cramping, dizziness etc.. Some "attacks" are longer than others, but if I respond with extra sleep and good food I can get through it in a few days. One thing I've definitely learned is that, even if I have to back off for a few days, a little easy running helps me recover faster.
Now my kids are in school, the house is quiet. Maybe I'll go take that nap.

| Well, last week was the worst running week I've had in about two and a half months. Not only did the panic episode slow me down, but I woke up Friday with a burning pain in the ball of my foot (outside edge - fifth metatarsal head if you want specifics). It's been coming on all summer, ever since I got that great new pair of Crocs sandals that are so comfortable. I knew on the second day of wearing them they were going to cause problems. But they felt good and they were easy to slip on and I've worn them almost every day.
Most of my injuries have multiple causes and in this case it's a combination of running and non-running factors: the wrong sandals, combined with tightness in my achilles, caused by lack of sleep over a long period of time and the gradual disappearance of my yoga and strength training regimen. I worried briefly about a stress fracture, but I really don't think you can get a stress fracture on 20 miles a week, can you? Besides, I have similar but milder symptoms in the left foot as well. I think the right is just worse because I do so much running on the lovely left shoulder of the road.
So - solution time. I've been icing twice daily since Friday. It helps. A lot. I will keep doing it. I've reinstituted my cross training. I think I've figured out a time of day when I can do it consistently - I'll stick with it. I did an easy run today and it didn't seem to make anything worse, so I'll stick with it as long as things don't get worse. I'm really trying to get more sleep. I was hoping for 7.5 last night - I got a little closer. I'll keep trying. Maybe someday I'll discover what it feels like to function on a solid 8 hours. I'm looking forward to it. And finally - I've ditched the sandals. I'm having a hard time finding another comfortable pair of sandals in my closet. This may require a trip to the shoe store :)

| You see that number in the night time sleep box? Seven! That's right, I got SEVEN full hours of sleep last night. Of course that means I had a terrible time getting up this morning. But hey, I think it's a feat that is definitely worth repeating.
Only 2 today, but that's how Tuesday goes. The good news is that my Foot Injury Recovery Plan seems to be working. Even though I ran yesterday, the burning pain is decreasing and I can now wiggle my toes without significant pain. The bad news is my foot actually bothered me on my run, and it normally doesn't. I'm choosing to ignore that fact.

| Had a few little bits of knobbly foot pain, but it's getting better every day. In the last few weeks my cross country running sons have been dealing with their own injuries - everything from High-Mileage Zero-Drop Shoes Achilles Tendontitis(opathy) to I'm-New-At-This-And-I've-Got-IT-Achilles-Shin-Band-Plantar-Splints-Fascitis. I know, sounds serious. I was going to write down a list of suggestions for them based on many years of self treating my own overuse running injuries, but I know it will eventually fall off the fridge one day when someone opens the door with a little too much gusto, and then it will end up in the garbage. So - I'm going to put it here, where I can come back and find it again.
A CROSS COUNTRY MOM'S BASIC GUIDE TO MINOR INJURY RECOVERY
*notice all the qualifiers in that title - I'm no expert, just experienced
1. TREAT THE SYMPTOMS
-Take care of your body: Sleep Well (8 hours!), Eat Well (More fruits and vegetables, less sugar and fewer processed foods), Drink Well (Water - lots)
-Back off: This doesn't necessarily mean stop running. My general rule is: if pain increases during a run, you should probably take some time off (and search out more expert advice than my little list). Otherwise, for a few days simply slow down, skip the hills, and drop the mileage.
-RICE it: That is - Really ICE it. Two to three times a day for 15-20 minutes. Faithfully. For at least a week. Or two. Just don't give yourself frostbite (it can happen).
-Massage: Most running injuries are caused, or at least exacerbated, by tightness, usually in the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and that wonderful IT band (my personal nemesis). A stategically applied foam roller can work miracles on loosening up those tight spots and alleviating discomfort. I actually use a full #10 can on carpet (food storage to the rescue!). It works, and it's cheaper. "How to" instructions and videos are available on the web in abundance.
-KT Tape: There are some scientifically-based and thoroughly-researched reasons for taping up an injury. Something to do with compression and circulation and such. It's a good idea, it feels pretty good, and the eye-catching colors will insure that the whole world knows you are injured and shouldn't be expected to run at your peak. It's relatively cheap, can be found at Walmart and applied by anyone (with a little help from Youtube).
2. TREAT THE CAUSE
-Shoes: YEA!! This is the best part. Many experts agree that when you get injured, you should start by examining your shoes. Are they too old? Too small? Too flat? Too narrow? The wrong color? Runners are more shoe obsessed than almost any other sub-category of the human species. There is a good reason for this - it matters! See your local specialty running shoe store for expert advice. They will tell you to consider rotating multiple pairs of shoes to keep from hammering the same spots every day. This is a good idea, and it helps them sell more shoes and stay in business. Win-win. Also - if your injury is foot related, take a good look at your every day shoes. Sometimes it's the shoes you're wearing for eight hours a day that are the culprit.
-Cross Train: I know, I know. Runners just want to run. I get that. Unfortunately, I've never been strong enough to just run without injury. Maybe if I'd been taught proper form from the very beginning I could do it, but a lot of us novices need a little extra help. The bottom line is all that working a few of those opposing muscles can help prevent injury in the first place as well as speed recovery. Here are a few specific ideas:
Plantar Fascitis - when you sit down to watch a show, or read, or do homework etc... dump a bucket of marbles (or other small object) on the carpet. Pick up the marbles with your toes and drop them back in the bucket. This exercise and the next one may also help with shin splints.
Achilles Tendonitis - ECCENTRICS! Heel drops, or calf raises, or whatever you want to call them. They are amazing. Google them. Do them consistently and do them well. Problem solved.
IT Band Syndrome - I'm so sorry. It's really best to keep this one from getting out of control. Once the inflammation has decreased (see note below), lunges and squats are the answer. Bike riding could also help. Be careful though, if you're still tight these exercises could also make things worse. You'll know if you feel that special ache coming on. Single leg squats are probably a better option at first. The idea is to strenghten your quads.
*Note - A lot of injuries will allow you treat both the symptoms and the cause simultaneously. With some, however, it is best to wait for pain to subside before treating the issues that caused it (IT band pain is an example)
This list is by no means comprehensive, and it focuses mainly on the issues we've dealt with in our home, and I'm sure I'll be back to revise and edit it often. Here's to a healthy season!

| A beautiful run around the reservoir this morning. I thought about taking a break and sticking my feet in the cold water for a few minutes, but I was feeling good so I just headed home. I owned the big hill - at a nice, solid, tortoise-like pace. But I owned it none-the-less. My foot is feeling good enough to try try a long one tomorrow. Yea!!

| This is me not beating myself up over missing my run on Saturday. Especially since I got to cheer on some really amazing high school runners instead. I'm ready to get back to my normal routine this week though. Currently icing my sore foot. It's not any worse, but not all better either. Today's run was mentally theraputic which is just what I needed :)

| Not nearly enough sleep last night, but it was a nice easy short one today. A little yoga this morning. Haven't iced my foot yet, but it's better than yesterday. One of these days I should run more miles than hours that I sleep. The rate I'm going that shouldn't be too hard.

| What an absolutely gorgeous morning! Days like today are what keep me running. There's nothing quite like running down a quiet path on the side of a mountain, looking over the majestic scenery and feeling like you're a part of something glorious. The sun was perfect, the breeze was perfect, and when I rejoined civilization on the road nobody even tried to run me over. What more could I ask for? I went a little farther than I set out to, but I felt good so I kept going. I'm glad to finally get something in over four miles. Maybe I can get back to a seven or eight mile long run on Saturday.

| Have I mentioned I love this time of year? The sunflowers are blooming which means it's time to run the east bench trail. Yea! Yoga this morning followed by an easy two miles. My foot started bothering me after 1.5. Probably shouldn't have worn the green shoes, but I'm tired of wearing the blue ones. Definitely time to look into new shoes. Maybe I should actually pay attention to what I have. The green ones are Brooks Pure something-or-other. I've had them for a couple of years, but not used them very much. The blue ones I've had for a year and I wear them most of the time, but I seriously don't know the brand. Saucony, I think? That's pathetic - without even looking my son could tell me the brand, weight, drop and all the pros and cons. I'd better take him shoe shopping with me. If I ever actually go do it.

| Five days in a row. Yea! Now that's more like it. Today was a little warmer than I prefer, but nothing to complain about. My foot hurt again about a mile to a mile and a half into the run. It eventually went away, but I'm still a little concerned. I haven't had as much of that burning sensation in the base of the pinkie toe (since I ditched my crocs sandals), but it was aching more on the top of the foot this time. Doesn't hurt much during the day. I really think it's just a combination of bursitis and tendonitits, but in my forefoot instead of my ankle/heel. If it ever gets really uncomfortable I should probably actually get it x-rayed to rule out stress fracture. In the meantime I'll just continue with my standard treament protocal which is to ignore it and hope it goes away.

| My husband tried to kill me. It's been a few weeks since my last long run, so I thought I'd just do a mediumish 6 or 7. He not only talked me in to joining him on his run, but then convinced me to do the entire thing with him. The good news is that it did not, in fact, kill me. And the even better news is that I don't even have any residual tightness or achiness. I did soak my feet a couple of times afterwards and they are not any worse than usual.
As I post this I suddenly realize that all of my posts have been a week behind. I ran 20 miles the first week of August, not 10! I can't believe I didn't notice for three whole weeks. Guess I'm subconsciously trying to prolong summer.

| Actually August 5th. For some reason I stared blogging on the wrong week. So the 1st, 2nd and 3rd weeks of August on the blog were actually the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks. I'm sticking the real first week of August here on the 4th week because it would be way too complicated to sort it out. At least the mileage will all be there.

| So my husband is doing a 20 miler today, and I thought I'd join him for a few of his later miles. I took him some gatorade and ran up and down the canyon with him. I didn't want to mess with his pace so we ran HIS speed. Therefore, today's miles are going in the fast miles column. I suppose it was what my son would call a tempo run. It was actually a bit of a revelation. We averaged about 8:40 a mile and I didn't die. The last little climb up to the top was rough, but I kept up. I was grateful to turn around and head back down, but we kept the pace consistent. Maybe a sub-25 5K is not totally out of the question. Right now I feel good; I'm happy with that!

| I only had 20 min. for exercise this morning. I thought about yoga, but went with the run. Hope that was the right choice (running is always the right choice, right?). I can tell I didn't ice my foot yesterday, but everything else was great. And now on to an insanely busy day. Sigh.

| My foot flared up about a mile in. I panicked, thinking maybe I really do have a stress fracture, and I walked for about a half block. I started running again slowly and the discomfort subsided. I could feel it a little during the rest of the run, but not enough to really bother me. I still think it's a tendonitis issue and I'm just paying the price for not being nice to it the last several days. Even though tendonitis isn't supposed to involve inflammation I know icing after a run helps a lot. I know eccentrics help with achilles tendontitis, I don't know if I would need a different kind of eccentric to help with my foot. Maybe I'll do my calf eccentrics every day for a while and see if it helps. At the very least I'll be more diligent with icing and wearing proper shoes during the day. And I really should get new running shoes.

| Not a stellar week, but I can only do what I can do. Nice run this morning with Adam. Planned to do 8 but had to get back for a commitment. Foot is sore, but it didn't hurt during the run. I massaged it a little before putting on my shoes, maybe that helped. I'll ice it too. Hope I can get back to 20 miles next week.

| Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful run. I love my mid-week, mid-distance, mid-day run. A perfect time to let everything slide off me and sort through all the tangled webs in my brain. That being said, I'm pretty tight in the IT band region today. I missed yoga (and running) on Tuesday, and missed my workout today. I'd better straighten things out so I don't end up sidelined.

I was actually cruising up the canyon this afternoon but a huge heart palpitation convinced me to slow it down. I didn't have a second one, but I kept the pace down after that.

| I've given up on logging my sleep. Seems like it's pretty consistently between 6 and 7 hours. It's not enough, but at least now I know that I never get enough and that's probably why I'm tired. A nice 3 miler this morning. I'd still like to get my miles back to about 20 a week, but as the semester gets crazier I may have to settle for 15-20 (as the last few weeks have shown - actually the last few weeks have shown less than that, but I haven't been happy about it, so if I can at least hit something in the ballpark of 20 I'm willing to settle).

| Just have to pause for a moment and mourn the loss of my Wednesday run this week. It was a tough choice, but the essay deadline was looming large and it wasn't going to write itself. I really enjoy going to school, right up until the time it interferes with other things that I love. I'm going to have to do a better job of planning my runs next week.

| I just have to say that even though I was no where close to meeting my running goals for this week, both of my sons obliterated old PRs in the XC meet on Friday, and my husband set a new PR in the marathon Saturday. It was an amazing running week for my family. I'll just have to enjoy it through them and take solace in the fact that I posted some awesome scores in school this week.

| Ha! I did it! I actually met my weekly mileage goal for the first time in several weeks. I'm a little tight and my foot is complaining, but other than that I held up okay. Having a running partner two days a week is really going to help my consistency. I'm feeling optimistic that this can happen again - even in the middle of the semester!
I just grabbed the paper log I was using before I joined the blog and I added my miles for the first part of the year. I'd forgotten how little I ran this winter and how far I've come since then. I didn't put comments on anything so there's no explanation for the random little 1 mile runs when I started running with my girls a few times a week in April and May. And there are a few 6 milers that come out of no where when my husband drug me out the door to do his favorite run with him. I love that I can do that run with him now and not die in the process. My only fear is that my running always drops off precipitously in the winter - I really want to keep it going this year!

| It's no wonder I get injured so frequently when I'm so inconsistent. But I can honestly say that I did absolutely everything I could this week. I used every second of every day, and did more than I ever knew was humanly possible. I let the running slide knowing that it was just one incredibly complicated week and I know I can pick up the pieces next week. There will be other difficult weeks before the semester is through. I just need to stick with it!

| Loop around the college. I felt rotten, but considering I haven't run in almost a week I shouldn't be surprised. Anxiety level is running a little high - it was a big weekend and there's another big week ahead. Sleep, eat and run. Unfortunately I have two more essays due on Friday. I sacrificed the running last week - I may have to sacrifice the sleep this week. As long as I don't sacrifice my sanity! We'll see.

| Only had time for four this morning, but at least I got a run in. Turns out it was good I didn't try for more - I felt awful. I don't know if it was the wind or anxiety or just lack of sleep but I was mildly nauseated and short of breath. Not the worst I've ever felt on a run, but certainly not the way I like to feel.

| Had to cut the favorite run a little short so I could finish some homework, but I got most of it in. Ran three of the miles with rocks in my pockets (some really pretty pieces of quartz - I'm such a nerd). I'm counting it as resistance training :) along with my 1x10 routine.

| Not the miles I'd hoped for these last few weeks, but I'm at the point in the semester where anything at all is a great victory. I'm reducing my classes for next semester so I have a little more time for important things (like making dinner, and showering).
My goal for next week is to get in my old 3x10 strength workout three times and to get at least four runs in for at least 15 miles.

| Got in as much as I could while the girls were at ballet rehearsal. Achilles hurt the first mile (also acted up earlier in the week), subsided after about a mile. Typical right foot pain towards the end.
Happy that I met my modest mileage goal for the week. Now to get my strength training back....
