Slept in, have been iceing, ibuprofening, wintercresting, etc. I called April today and scheduled a massage for Tuesday. I ran after school and did a .75 mile warm up. It felt okay, at what Dave calls, "Grandpa Pace". If i try to pick it up, or sprint it kills though. So i am going to do what Sasha said and do alot of slow long runs for about a week and a half.
Don't have a meet next week so i should be able to recover by SUU, and also get this cold completely out of my system. I guess i just need to toughen up though too, ha ha (their you go Dave i did it). I am in alot better mood than yesterday though, still frusturated, but trying to look at the good side. Who knows it might help me recover faster.
Anyways decieded to do a 10 mile grandpa pace run with an ace bandage rapped tightly around the thigh, have have that all day. It was a really slow run too. It felt okay though and stretched out that quad. I got to see alot more of the world at this pace and worked on my stride a little. I tried to make it an adventure to so it would not be so boring. It was allright, and at least i am still getting the miles in. If i keep doing this i'll be ready for the 3200 for sure. Thanks for the advise everyone. Now its up to me and my leg.
