Evening Run

This was a very hard, easy 6 miles. My left calf was in knots and I sweat my ass off, probably dehydrated.

Tuesday 15

Spiked Punch volleyball. It is tournament time and as we typically do, we were 2 and done. We played a man down in the first game losing badly. The second game was better but the result was the same. (Game YTD 128)

Morning Run 2 Up 2 MP 2 Down

LMLS and drills. 2 easy. 2 MP 8:11 and 8:16. I'm a little fast still. Stretch.

Thursday 17

Visit number 3 with Carter Sports Therapy. Today we addressed my left calf and lower back. I'm scheduling appointments for 10:30 every Friday I'm off between now and Savannah. 

Safe Sets volleyball. We won 3-0, this best we've played this season. (Games YTD 131)

Friday 18

Long Run 

Dflex and LMLS. 10 very rough miles. I'll will be glad when cooler temps get here. 
I've got left leg / side issues. It may be due to weakness and lack of mobility. I need to figure this out.
