Nice off day.  I spent two hours on the phone with my brother, a Sports PT in Idaho Falls, working through some ideas on where to start with running now.  Pretty excited actually since some of this is stuff I have been ignoring.  Specifically sleep.  He had a really good article on effects of even one hour of REM on recovery with athletes.  Starting a program this morning of lifting and water running, actually more intense than what I have been training so far.  I have to take a few videos of form for analysis.  Form from jumping off a box which shows what my knees and hips do when I land.  Just starting on this, I have a lot of reading material to start, but good to hear some stuff that makes sense.

Have not done this yet, but won't have time to post later.  1 hour water running focusing on range of motion.  3 series of jumping excersizes and leg lifting.  150 pushups, 150 situps, pull up series.  Side lifts on right hip injury.

Ive been a little consumed with news on Levins and his double wins at NCAA.  His coach has some interesting angles on mileage.

1 hour pool runing followed by the lifting exersizes.  I have decided to take this recovery serious and follow an aggresive receovery with someone else's ideas instead of my own.  this is the third workout of that program and yesterday I couldn't even complete the workout.  I though I was in shape...  My workouts will be focused on everything but the bad hip stabilizer and abductor on the right side, but a lot of flexibility stuff for those too.  Whats up with all the jumping exersizes too?  Crazy.  Some other surprizing things that came back are:  I have to lose 11 lbs, I have to be able to do 25 consecutive pull ups (I can do 15),  My vertical leap is pathetic, I have amazingly weak hamstrings, I need to schedule and work towards a hard race in six weeks.

1 hour running in the ocean off Manhatten Beach, LA.  I didn't do the lifting stuff today out of simple lazyness.

Morning running in the pool at the gym while the kids played.  Range of motion is back pretty much to normal with this hip thing but still hurts a bit with normal walking.  Sunday will be th first run and hopefully some training begins!

Very easy 3 miler in Phoenix in the morning.  Great to be able to run but still not going to able to train.  On the flip side I did my first yoga class today and was surprised how awesome it was!
