Well, I met with my running coach for the 5th week.

I don't know if you guys really care about reading about my progress... but someone might? So, I will continue to post as the weeks tick by.

Today we focused on running drills.

Jumping this way and that way. Getting my arms working properly. Making sure I wasn't sinking into my hip and not letting my knees fall inwards as I landed. Also wanted to make sure that I had power as I hit the ground and pushed off.

I didn't complete any running today though.

The last set of drills... I was horrible at. So, no running.

He said that once I can get the last set of drills I did today, down pat... then we will move to tempo runs.

The tempo runs will be short... and I will only run as far as I can keep perfect form. Each week the tempo runs will be lengthened as I gain more strength and I can run further will perfect form.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. I just have to stay focused and be OK with possibly missing this season.
