And also, my week of training didn't go well either, well, it was fine until the long run, which was a joke thanks to sleep deprivation. Keep up the hard work though, you are doing the right things as far as resting!!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911647787897427166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-57596029790602273942016-03-07T09:00:06.607-08:002016-03-07T09:00:06.607-08:00I hope it's not anything too serious.

Depending on the type of injury I sense might be coming up I usually go for some combination of rest, ice baths after runs, and KT tape.Heather [is probably running]http://probablyrunning.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-51807778900805971022016-03-07T05:25:12.292-08:002016-03-07T05:25:12.292-08:00Sadface.

Injury is just not worth it at this point (or ever) and doing speed work with any glimmer of injury is really dangerous so good for you especially on Wednesday!
