Recovering from CECS

running drills with Anne.  32 minutes running indoors.  5 min walk wu/cd.  4 miles.  I'm still pain-free while running.  I haven't run very hard yet and don't really plan on running much faster than my easy pace for a while.  Everything is still on track and I'm following my comeback schedule.  It seems pretty easy at times, but I'm hoping my patience during the recovery and mileage buildup phases will create some resilency against injuries down the road.

I became a member of our local area running club, the Green Mountain Athletic Association and I volunteered to help at a couple of spring races.  Part of my running plan is to become a part fo the runing community.  I still don't plan on racing until the fall after I've dropped another 15 pounds and I've logged a bunch of miles.

1 hour on the elliptical trainer.  Bleh.

40 minutes running indoors.  5 minute walk wu/cd.  5 miles.

I did some weight training today for the first time in quite a while.  Geez!  I'm weak!  It felt good and I think I'll inclulde a simple full body circuit training day to my workouts occasionally.

50 minutes running indoors.  5 min walk wu/cd.  6 miles.  I'm worn out.  Anne and I spent much of our Valentine's Day morning shovelling a foot of wet heavy snow!

Running drills with Anne this morning.  I overdid it a little.  I strained my deep posterior calf muscle in my left calf while doing one legged bounding exercises.  That's probably a little too advanced for me right now. So..... it looks like I'll treat myself to a couple days off to heal.
