Clyde's Comeback!

Sore. I didn't want to get too sore on Saturdays run down the course.... Backfire. The legs were super sore on Sunday. Even my calves which typically don't hurt running the STG course. Quads were sore to the touch too. So this mornings run was in question to start with. Took it super EZ but tried to keep the form straight and square. Was surprised to see that I ran the loop in a 7:05 avg. It felt at least a min per mile slower. Guessing the first couple runs or days this week will be semi recovery. 

DC loop then back around the park after coming up River Road. Legs were sore again. Saturdays run was one of the dumbest training moves for me in a while. I was barely only 70% recovered from Ojai marathon anyways... then went and did a semi hard 20 miler down the marathon course. Dumb dumb. 

So with the heavy soreish legs the run was a battle and pace was slow. 7:10 avg. 

4.9 mile Silkwood run. Hot and a pretty strong headwind made this a hard run. Plus the 3 chicken pot pies I cooked up and ate solo at lunch didn't sit well.

3 early miles

10.2 miles on the regular loop with Logan. Pretty EZ run and was pleased to see a 7:00 avg for the run. Quads are still very knotted up. I feel like Forest Gump when he has the metal braces on his legs and it just wont let him "go". I'm wishing I could break free from the soreness and tightness and break those braces so I could Run Forest run!

P.M 4.9 miles on the Slickwood run. Another hot one. 105 F and windy. Wind was coming from the west and this run is mostly north and south so the crosswind kind of helped cool or dry or dehydrate... not sure. Quads felt like it was the last mile of a horrible marathon. Guys- I need ya back soon!

Early morning run with Logan. It was hot out. At 6 a.m we were just about at mile 9 and passed the Summit Athletic Club. It was 6:03 a.m and 81 F. We both felt the need for a cool beverage and were happy the run was over in the end. 6:57 avg. 

Quads felt much better than last night but no where close to normal. It's just a day to day project keeping this ship afloat. 

3 more miles this afternoon around the park and back up into LV. Hot and hammered.

Logan came over early and we did the normal DC loop in reverse. No watch but pace was regular. A little cooler this morning made the run seem much easier than yesterday. Finished it off then got home and pack up to head out to the lake for  a few hours this morning. 

Got to Quail Creek and the water was almost glass. Just a couple other boats out. I went first on the wake board and hit a couple nice jumps as I was getting going.... then on my third attempt I got off balance in the air and landed funny. Either broke or majorly sprained my right ankle. For me it's the worst ankle injury ever. Swelling and pain. It's gut check time... hope and pray I'm not out. RICE- rest, ice, compression, elevation

Ankle was way too jacked up to mess with running. Swollen- black and blue. So long good time at Bryce...
