Notes

Beautiful day today. Enjoyed every minute of my run. No symptoms! Went to the Chiropractor this morning. Felt I had a productive conversation with him. He told me that what I have is a mild case of deep interior compartment syndrome. He says that surgery isn't necesary as I can 'cure' it on my own through proper nutrition intake and compartment stretching. I am inclined to believe him as I have indeed noticed improvement in my symptoms. Although I felt outa shape, I started to feel like my old self. It was refreshing to be able to go out there and just run with no fear of cramping. I ran a hilly course today to test myself for symptoms and I came out ok. Hopefully the trend will continue. Its interesting how much you begin to learn about the human body as a runner and a coach. Going through injuries and then trying to figure out what's wrong with you is actually interesting and enlightening. I feel like I am beginning to get a good grasp on how the human body works and hopefully I can apply what I learn to prevent future injury to myself and my athletes. I guess we'll see how tomorrow goes!!
