am: ran three this morning because my back felt a little better from getting it alined from a friend of mine. but it started hurting towards the end and tightened up again. i kind of wish i would've skipped this run now.
pm: drove up to BYU and got there 50 minutes before my race. i forget my trainers on the bus so i ran barefoot around there grass to see how i felt. it was ok until i started jumping hurdles and it just really killed after that. i tried for about 20 more minutes to see if i could handle it but it just hurt so bad. so i dropped out of my race because i knew i wouldn't be able to finish it and it would just ruin it more.
I was really bummed about dropping the steeple chase because i know i would've had a big chance of winning it and getting a qualifying time for southwest regionals and this was my only chance. so now i probably wont be able to go if i dont get a sub 9:20 two mile. and the way my back is right now, its not looking good :/ tomy's coach gave me so good advice on what he thought which helped and tomorrow my uncle is having me see a back specialist that happens to be up tomorrow that will look at it and maybe give me some stuff to help it cease until the end of state. so hope that goes well. I dont have a race tomorrow, but on saturday i have the 800 and 1600m. those should be a bit better since there are no hurdles...we'll see what happens. sad day. |
