Sticking with it...

The last few weeks have been touch and go. Sena's calf continued to cramp up on her. She went to see - Jan W. an ART (Active Release Therapist) a couple of weeks ago. Sena was somewhat bruised for a few days afterward, but then felt pretty good. She also started cold + heat, which has been a big improvement over just cold therapy.

She is knocking out a couple of 6+ mile runs during the week now without much trouble on courses she couldn't attempt in January. She does some walking during her runs, but is still averaging 11:15 or better on hilly courses.

Her calf is still getting tight, but she keeps on top of it and is able to get her runs in, sometimes skipping runs and doing cross training instead.

She finished over 14 miles last weekend and will be going for 16 miles tomorrow. Wow - I can hardly believe it! She is really committed to this and overcoming some pretty serious obstacles.
