Here we go..

Ran another mile today on the treadmill to test the waters. I ran more during the mile today then I did yesterday it felt better. I have a lot of tightness in my right glute still which is keeping me from running all out at the moment, hoping to continue to work through it this week.

Ran on the treadmill today, my soreness is getting better each day.

Almost there, 2.5 miles on the treadmill

Painful two miles

WARNING: this is a "woe is me" post. I ran a mile tonight and still have pain. The frustrating thing is that I don't feel anything until I start running. At least I can do my day to day activities pain free but can't run pain free. It took me a little over a year to get to where I was before getting hurt. After 13 months and 70 lbs later I'm sidelined by an injury. I'm not sure when I will be able to run pain free but I'm going into my fourth week feeling depressed and pessimistic. Sorry to be a downer. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow but at this moment I'm doing everything in my power not to make a huge pan of brownies and eat it all in one sitting.

2 miles with less pain.  I won't run again until Thursday.

Every time I've tried running the pain is less and less, today it was almost completely gone. And I was back to my normal stride. AP 7:50

More improvement today. I was only going to do 3 miles but I felt good so I added a mile. AP 7:37 picked up the last mile to 6:58. I was going to run every other day this week, except I think I'll run tomorrow and take Friday off. It's my birthday tomorrow and instead of running 28 miles, a mile for every year I've been alive, I'll do 28 minutes. 

I ended up running an easy 30 minutes instead of 28 minutes, went over by 2 minutes. 

Feeling better and better everyday. Ready to move mileage up. AP 7:37

Nothing lets you know your fitness is down by pushing your kids in the stroller I was feeling pretty winded. Tough run this morning in the wind.

Quick 2.1 mile run in the evening, I didn't have much time and I ended up racing the wind. Just keeping my mileage low.

Easy run today. I'll probably try a workout tomorrow. AP 8:08

I did my first workout today since the injury. I wanted to keep it controlled just so I can see how my sciatic will react. I did a 3 mile tempo after a 1.3 mile warm up. Ended with a two mile cool down. 6:44, 6:35, 6:40. I can tell my fitness is down but that's to be expected. Happy with how it felt, sciatic didn't flare up during the run. 

Easy 3 

Ran with Angie, Katie, and sariah, this morning for the first time in awhile. It was nice to run with people again. Felt tired, especially up hills. AP 7:37

I did an interval workout this morning 8x400 with 90 sec. jog in between. Splits 85, 85, 86, 84, 85, 84, 84, 84. I was happy I was consistent. I wasn't sure how fast I should do them but that was about right. 

Easy run in South Weber.
