I was half hoping to wake up this morning completely pain free but alas I obviously woke up with shooting pain all down the back of my left leg. I tried to go to practice, probably not a smart thing to do, but I didn't last long, probably less than half an hour. I jogged a lap pretty much pain free but then when I started to do leg swings and skips the real extend of the injury became apparent. I know exactly what I'm dealing with, this is a 4 week injury but unfortunately Nationals are in 12 days.
   I don't know if I'm going to be able to jump or not, I need a miracle to say the least.
 I went to the gym this evening and tested it out again after icing for several hours, I was actually able to get up to around 75% but it's far from where I need to be. I also did a standard ab circuit (180 movements) and 3x10 back extensions which I think I will be adding to my Monday routine.
