| 60 minutes on the AMT. It's been 2 weeks since I strained my left calf. It feels pretty good, no pain at all. My rough plan was to try running by the end of the week, but I might put it off for another week to play it safe.
I'm heading to Wisconsin for a week on the 10th. I'm not ready to run outdoors yet either, so I'll just stay with cardio until I come back on the 14th. If all goes well, I'll try a little easy running on the 15th.

| I'm in sunny Wisconsin for the week. Usually I try to pick warmer places to visit in the wnter. I try to make my winter business trips an excuse to thaw out from the Vermont ice box. Oh well, at least it's a week away from the office. It was 50 degrees today, so I ran outside from the first time since probably September. I didn't wear a watch or measure it. I'll call it 30 minutes & 3 miles.

| Back in Vermont. I missed a 20 inch snowstorm while I was away. We'll probably have snow on the ground until May. It's nice to be home. I wasn't able to exercise much and my diet went off the rails. I'm looking forward to my home made smoothies for breakfast and again!
No exercise today, just a long travel day that started at 3:30 am and culminated with a lost bag and arriving home late in the afternoon. I feel bloated & sluggish.

| Back to the gym. I stepped on teh scale for giggles. I weighed 176 this morning. A full 5 pounds more than last week. I know it's not a true weight gain per se, but I can feel every extra ounce!
20 minutes on the AMT followed by some stretching and 40 minutes easy running. 5 miles. No calf pain, but my calves were starting to feel a little weak by the end.

| 20 minutes on the AMT followed by some easy running drills for a warmup. I felt the slightest muscle pain in my left calf, so I stopped running at 28 minutes. It was purely precautionary; I'm just playing it safe. 3.5 miles.

I volunteered at my first race ever today. In my 20+ years of racing this is the first time on the "other side of the race course." I had fun, but wished I was racing instead. I plan on helping at a few more races this year to help me stay motivated while I slowly build my strength this year.

| 10 minute warmup on the AMT followed by stretching & lunges. 45 minutes running indoors. I ran a bit with a new friend, Russ. Pretty easy running, heart rate stayed around 120-125. I wasn't keeping track of laps; I'll call it 4.5 miles -ish.

| 15 minutes on the AMT. Stretching & lunges. 50 minutes running on the indoor track. 6 miles. I saw lots of people running outside today. It was about 45 degrees. The roads are still really sloppy, so I'll stay indoors for now. I think this is the ugliest time of year. Still a little snow on the ground & everything is muddy; plus all the gravel & crud on the sides of teh roads. Oh... and potholes, lots and lots of potholes.
