I decided today that I am no longer sick or injured and will never be either ever again.

3 x 8 minutes of running on the BST!!! Just did laps around Morris Meadow, but who cares I am back out on the trails.

Can't believe how pooped I still am from this flu thing. Had to take a nap after work or I would have never made it to the gym. Now for never ending hip exercises...

I keep dreaming that I am running. Not like my old running dreams where I am running away from something or I am trying to run but my legs won't move, but just running, like for fun. Wish fulfillment I guess.

AM: Morning kettlebell routine and happy squats.

PM: Biking and a big mile to help me get psyched for the "huge" run I have planned for tomorrow.

Baby Rubes (my car) turned over 100,000 miles this morning on I215 and about 4500 South. I was really hoping we would be somewhere slightly more amazing for this momentous event, but we ended up in nearly the same spot where we got smooshed by a stupid Ford 350 truck with a plow on it 6 years ago. Resilience!

AM: Biking & PT

PM: 3 x 10 minutes of RUNNING at Liberty Park & Restorative Yoga at Mudita

City Creek! (The canyon, not the mall that opens today.)

Serious Advice Needed!

Has anyone ever had to ease back into running after a huge layoff? My hip is doing fabulous, but my lower legs are on fire. Seriously, I didn't go through this stupid hip surgery to wind up with shin splints. I have been running for 4 weeks now and am now up to 30 minutes of running with walk breaks. I am running on wood chips, stick rolling, stretching, and even got some compression socks. Any other ideas on how to prevent shin splints and ward off the calf/feet pain?  

PM: 3 x 10 minutes of running plus a little extra to get me to 3.5 miles and an even 10 for the week!!! Pace was 10:10, 9:17, 9:07, 9:18. Not bad for 15 weeks post-up but my poor calves ughhhhh!

Got up at 3:15 am to get out to Antelope Island and volunteer at the Buffalo Run. Made around 50 PB&J's, filled at least 200+ water bottles and assorted bladders, vicariously ran about 5000 miles, and did a few strange favors for you crazy running peeps. Had an absolute blast - I heart runners!
