First day back from my ban. ...I probably should have posted about that. Background info--I did some hard faster running last week. I injured myself--basically the story of my summer, now continued. Tendinitis in my left knee that was bothering me a little on my faster runs two weeks nearly hobbled me later in the day last Wednesday. I call my doctors/parents. They say that I've probably been being kind of dumb all summer. Running faster than I ever had the foundation to do from week 1. I'm banned from running fast enough that it hurts my knee (or shins, but that's another story that has to do with me being pretty stupid rather than just kind of dumb) for 3-4 weeks. Today was my first run back. I wen barefoot at Helaman fields (dejavu) for about 25 or 30 minutes. I forced my self to try and stay above a 9 or 10 minute pace. I stetched after going to the track and doing three laps. Then did a mile more. I started hurting at about 2 miles. I think that in shoes I could have gone longer. I did another lap, full sprint the last 100m because I was still antsy, then did a half mile cool down and walked back. I'm considering water running, because that was no workout.
