Blake Bennions running

45 minutes on a stationary bike. I would much rather be running but biking doesn't disturb the back/pelvis area so its a lot better than nothing. I think I might get to go running tomorrow, my back/pelvis is feeling pretty good, I'm hoping after a good nights rest it will feel all better tomorrow. But I will just have to see how it goes, if there's pain at all I will stick to the bike another day. It was great cross training, my legs felt heavy going back upstairs. I will see if the hot tub is working or I could go to the rec center and use the one there, don't get to watch the cfp championship but I hope ohio state wins!

60 minutes on the bike, faster than yesterday. Hopefully I can run tomorrow, I really want to. My hip is definitely getting better, most things dont hurt anymore, but sometimes it hurts when I do random movements.

Another 60 minute bike, a little longer than last time so it was faster. I know I'm getting a workout because I'm drenched in sweat after these and my legs are really heavy, good workout. I think I will run tomorrow, pain was minimal today, it only hurt once very much. I think it will be good to go tomorrow. I guess even though its been frustrating, its given me an opportunity to do tardy school. But its really frustrating to see people training while you aren't.

Ran warm up with team and then did 4.5 with the team on the track. I will do 30 mins on bike and maybe swim. It wasn't too bad, I think I will keep running, I just have to ease into it, or out of it, whatever. It hurts but if I run a certain way, it doesn't. I went swimming and did a small amount on the bike. I'm going to finish top 6 at BYU next week and get a t shirt. I need to beat Andrew Rummens to do this, the guy from woods cross, I'm excited. But you never know who will be there, I will do my best and enjoy the competition. My back is feeling better than when I'd been running, so that's good. Tomorrow I have an endoscopy so I will be drugged up but I think I will be fine to run at practice.

Had the endoscopy today, felt kind of weird since then. I almost put my address from Maryland for my address on a paper when I got back to school. But I ran 8 miles with Read and Zach at 8:00 pace, My back hurts when I go much faster than that. I'm debating whether to do a bike or run tomorrow, I need to be able to run hard by next Saturday but I also dont want to lose fitness. Its hard to say what the right call is because I don't know how my paraphormus thing will heal. I'm considering going to the pool again today, maybe just for the hot tub, I'm still feeling drowsy from the medicine.

No energy today, still recovering from endoscopy. Today was the first real day of my new gluten and onion free life. There's not as much to eat anymore haha. My pelvis or hip was hurting during the run, I wish it would heal. Its been a rough but fast week.
