Hiked around on the BST to get some sunshine. Hiking is so slow so I ran a baby bit. Couldn't help myself. Must be very careful though seeing as I already tripled my mileage from last week :)

It is official, I can start running again. But I have lots of rules... For the next week I can only run 2 X 5 minutes every other day on the treadmill. I need to stick to the rules and not go ape crazy so as not to have a repeat of what happened in March.

I am not exactly happy with the level of pain I still have, but at this point I have to be healed and just probably have a bunch of scar tissue that needs to get broken up. I can elliptical and bike as much as I want though with pain as my guide.

AM: RUNNING and PT

PM: Mellow ride on the Legacy to loosen up the legs after the BIG run this morning followed by pizza at Este to celebrate!!!

I am super sore in weird places from the big mile run yesterday. Can't wait to give it another go tomorrow!

Oh and I slightly impulsively bought a plane ticket to Switzerland today. I am going to give the Mont Blanc trek a go since I have been feeling pretty darned good these days. If I end up all lame again I will just go on a 2-week winery tour instead. Win win either way. I am also going to try and volunteer at the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc which would be awesome!!! The French call their aid stations refreshment posts - how cute is that?

Stretch, strengthen, and yoga day. I am trying this whole listen to your body thing and I don't think I was quite ready to give running another go.

Since everyone has been whining about sprinklers lately... This morning I was enjoying my coffee and reading a magazine at the bus stop when out of nowhere I get blasted with a hose with similar water pressure of a fire hose which literally gets my pushed out into the street earning a few angry fist pumps from one insensitive driver. Woman responsible for said hose is laughing her @ss off and as I am trying to wring out my pants and jacket I get swarmed by bees. Yes bees and I am scared to death of bees. My grandmother just sent me this lotion called Bee Nectar and it smells like smarties and obviously it is called bee nectar for a reason since the bees are not swarming anyone else at the bus stop. I put my sopping wet jacket over my head and hoped for the best. The only good thing to come out of this morning is that my fellow bus stop peeps who have never once acknowledged my existence in the last 2 years acknowledged me today :)

AM: Some biking followed by 2 X 5 minutes on the TM

PM: A big hike up to the chocolate shop - feel like that should count for something. I can officially, totally, completely, comfortably sit cross-legged again - yay!

A bike pedal debacle kept me from making it up to the Jeremy Ranch Road so I rode up Emigration instead. Can't wait until I can run; bikes are too complicated. I got to the top of Little Mountain slightly slower than last week because my left quad was on fire. I think this is good sign since it may indicate that I am actually using that leg now.  My left quad is still noticeably smaller than the right. Then b-fast at Ruth's - I hope we can keep this up all summer :)

PM: My prescribed 2 x 5 minutes on the TM. Felt lame for going to the gym on such a beautiful day, but it was only for 15 minutes and I am trying to be a compliant patient. That makes 3.4 miles this week, which is up from 0.1 the following week. On the up and ups for sure!
