Houston We Have a Problem


Well sort of.
This past we I took it real easy like planned, nothing but 45 min TM runs, 1 brick and a few 45 min swims. Got some real rest.

Friday I felt a little tightness in the muscle that connects the bottom calf to the achilles tendon.
Put the massage stick to it to try to loosen it up and during this mornings 8 miler it tightened up real bad. Tried everything to no avail.
It hurts but my friend mentioned that during taper after a hard build like mine, things tend to open up as far as vascular tissue and ligaments...so the week out taper can reveal some inflammation and mild pains. He seems to think it will pass in the next day.

So I'm icing and on NSAID's til Wednesday. I can run on it , but if I push the pace it is somewhat tight.

I'm just going to try to put it out of my head and focus on the positive.

In other news.......We finally got a chance to go out for a movie.

We saw Ben Stiller's "A Night in the Museum". I really had a great time watching this film.Being a museum freak it hit all the rights buttons for me. I can only imagine how much fun this movie was to make. All the costumes and as far as logistics, it couldn't have been any easier. Stiller is very easy to like.

Also saw Cellular at home while spinning. Most people would poo poo on this film , but I liked it ! Big fan of Jason Statham and Kim Basinger is so absolutely beautiful ! She's a 10+ in my book.

My next entry will be my race report.
