Never give up.

No running today. I am resting my legs.

I had a nice run today. My shin bothered me a little bit but not bad well just say compared to Friday it was like night and day. I ran six miles with a 0.5 incline and my BPM was between 146-154, my pace was 8:23. When i was talking to my friend while running we decided to run a marathon in December in Las Vegas. So that will be my first marathon and i am a little excited to see how I will do. Thanks for reading and have a good night.

I have decided to take a break from running :(. My shin is not healing and I need to stop running until it is fully healed. I have tried everything else and nothing is working. So I am hoping that in a week or two I will be back to running. I think I will try will try using the stair stepper or the elliptical machine. If anyone has any advice for me I could really use it right now. Thanks for reading and have a good day..

Evening: 

I went to the doctor today and we decided that taking four weeks off would be the best for me. Then we talked about cross training like the stair stepper, elliptical and riding the bike. So i am going to start my work outs with riding the bike and then use the elliptical 45 min to 1 1/2. And some of the reports i have been reading says that the elliptical will almost give you a better work out. Any other suggestions?

I did not run today, but I used the elliptical. And I am feeling a little soar but not too bad. I hope that when I can start running again that I will be in better shape compared to when I started using the elliptical.

I am trying to get myself instead of reaching a mileage point that I can reach a time point. I used the elliptical for one hour today and when I was done I could not feel my legs. So I know that it is working. I also kept my heart rate from 140 – 150 bpm. My ultimate goal is to use the elliptical hour and half every day. So I will see how that goes. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Today i used the elliptical for an hour and fifteen minutes. Boy was my legs soar, but it felt good. i am really enjoying the elliptical machine. But i still miss running. Thanks for reading and have a great day..

Nice easy day. But i am having a harder time keeping my heart rate around 150, i think that is good? Also, i am not sure why but when I start the elliptical i have a hard time keeping my heart rate even close to 150 it is either too high or too low. It takes me about fifteen to twenty minutes to obtain my goal of 150 bpm. Weird... Thanks for reading and have a great day.
