my leg is playing tricks on me
yesterday was a M/E swim of 4200m/1:07. after a long warm up the main set was 6x400m SI at 6:05. times ranged from 5:36 to 5:49). the swim has really come around lately and much thanks goes to my bum leg. i have also been struggling with foot, calf and hammy cramps late in my swim. after some reaearch it appears my potassium it low so i have added a supplement to my diet to help.
today was an active recovery day. this morning was an easy 45min trainer ride followed by a 1500m/26min swim at lunch.
tomorrow i am off work for a dr visit to Z and a massage. i also have planned a bike workout and i will curse my leg alot. it appears the pain in my leg continues to switch locations and sometimes it hurts more than others. i am thoroughly frustrated at this point and i expect to have a really rough run. my real concern is whether to pain will get the best of me in the run and i walk. i am debating getting some crutches for the next week to keep weight of my leg. it seems walking on it is not helping the healing process. i plan to have it examined further after the race but for now i cant handle any bad news.
