The wonders of saline

So in the past two weeks I've run 2 runs--3 miles each and my foot hurt. Today I got the saline shot in the heel/arch of my foot. I was told I should be able to run by Tuesday.

I hope hope hope so! Until then rest rest rest!

Row row row...

5K row
27:41

I started the day off with some PT and some massage of my IT and PF which killed, in a good way. Then I decided to row a bit for crosstraining. I haven't rowed for a while, and I think its kinda pathetic that I can run faster than I can row a 5K!

10 miler and lots o softball

Today was a great day. Last night I played 3 games of softball. Didn't fall asleep till about 2 am. No beers though.

Got up at 5 and went to run 10 miles. Exactly 1 hr 40 min for my pace group. Keepin' it real.

Then I played ANOTHER softball game on the UIC flames field, which was fun. Never played on astroturf before. We went out for some beers after and then randomly went to North Ave beach. It was PACKED!! But we found a place and plopped ourselves on the sand for a few hours. Aahhh I love summer!

Some pullups and dips:WOD

Warm up: PT exercises

Rx for puppies:
40 pullups
40 dips

I broke it down into 4 sets of 10 pullups/dips.

Time 6:31

I forgot to mention that yesterday's run was my first totally pain free run since before April 19th. I couldn't even feel my PF. Guess all this PT and exercises and excessive stretching is helping. I've always been a post run stretcher, but with the PT exercises, I take it to the max.
