so for my jogging final I was super tired and my leg was killing me but somehow i was able to finish my mile in 8.03 which is pretty good! and the best time that I have gotten. I do think i could have done better if my leg hadn't been hurting!
Now I am doing a bootcamp with my mom for a while! It's a lot of fun but doesn't have me running as much... I think I'll have to make Katt get up and run with me!

Mud run number 2
My parents, Jake and I ran the OC eco mud run this last saturday! We had so much fun!
Sadly the last few weeks my leg has been hurting again so I was not able to run the entire thing I had to take a few breaks to stretch my leg a little bit. Other than that it was really good and we had a really good time! Jake and My time was 35.10 which isn't bad for a 5k but I could have done better if it weren't for my leg!

Jogging class
So i have been in this jogging class at school! It's not to bad! I wasn't sure exactly what to expect but i do think it is making me stronger in a way! especially since lately I have been to tired to want to get up and run, this class has forced me to do it anyway and push myself to do it.
We run between a mile and 2 miles ever class which is Mondays and Wednesdays at 7am
This Monday we ran another timed mile. I was trying not to get the best time a could while still beat the time i got on the last one (9.15). I was really shooting for about 9.0 minutes of course I can't ever hit what I want to and ended up getting a 8.24 which actually kind of surprised me that I could do a mile that fast and still think i could go faster! I'm actually kind of excited!
today we ran a timed 2 mile I was able to get 17.47 which isn't to bad i am actually pretty shocked now that I look at it that just a year ago I could not even run a full mile straight and now I am trying to slow myself down. Kinda cool!!
My leg hasn't been hurting at all thankfully! the only time it hurts now is if I try and sprint so I just don't do that :)
I am signed up for the Irvine Mud run on April 24Th with my friend Jake and my parents. So I need to keep up the training to make sure that I will be able to do the 5k in the mud! I am pretty excited about it!

Jogging class
So the jogging class has been going good! I had to run a timed mile yesterday so that we could get times for the beginning of the semester to improve on!
So my thought was I will jog really slow so that my time will be bad and I will be able to improve easily! so that's what I did or so i thought!
I ended up with a time of 9.15 that's better than any of my other times! crazy! so now i don't know how I will be able to improve on that week after week! ugh. oh well I guess I will be really challenged!
as for the injury I have been feeling so much better therapy is going great and hopefully I will only have a few more weeks of it and I will be cleared!

Any way I have been going to this new physical therapy place it's called synergy it's so good! Leo my therapist is awesome and i have been getting great results! I have been able to run without my wrap and without tape and still have no pain! it's amazing! we figured that it is an IT band problem so we have been working on that and so far it's working hopefully i'll only need another month of therapy and been done! so exciting!
I also signed up for a jogging class at school at 7am on Mondays and Wednesdays! I am super excited hopefully I will get some great pointers! I'll have to post things as I go!

Running at the Beach
The last 2 weeks have been absolutely beautiful!!! I have been running with my friend Jake at the beach it's been awesome!
The sunrises have been amazing and you can see the snow covered mountains at the same time! The best part of living in Orange County is that I can be at the beach and looking at the mountains at the same time it's amazing!!! God is so good!
On Tuesday I ran 2 miles without wearing my leg wrap and had very little pain it was so exciting. Although since then I have had more pain so that's not good! But physical therapy is going good and we are making progress!!!
It's amazing we have only been running 2 miles everyday and it's gotten pretty easy for the most part to run that far. I am not pushing myself anymore I'm just enjoying it! I am excited for the day my therapist says I can run further and harder!!

Nerve test results
So i went to the orthopedic last week and they gave me the results of my nerve tests.
Well surprise, surprise nothing is wrong. Everything on the tests turned out perfect! So my doctor is totally stumped at what the problem could be...
So he said to try another physical therapist and see if that helps at all. I started working with a new therapist his name is Leo and so far he is really good! He thinks it could possibly be my IT band that is causing the problem so we have been doing a lot of stretches and stuff to try and get it working better! so we'll see if it helps at all.
Monday my friend Jake came and ran with me around the neighborhood. It was fun to have someone besides my dog running with me. Although Jake has not come back to run with me since then. He keeps telling me he is going to but we will see! hopefully tomorrow? :)
