| Planned day off to allow for some recovery time - feeling a little fatigued/stressed from the volume perhaps.

| AM - not bad today. Did a walk with Tracy and then a shorter and easier run. No discomfort or kinks, but I also did not push too hard or go as long. Will plan to do the same for the rest of the week.

| AM - 4 miles easy this morning. Very light and easy, perhaps even too slow - but no discomfort whatsofever. Picked it up over the last mile or so - and still no issues. I think I am benefiting well from this step back week to allow for recovery/rebuild even if it is at relatively low mileage.

| AM - walked about a mile with Tracy and then did 7 miles on the AlterG treadmill. Good run this morning - no tightness, discomfort or any concerns. Pace was faster (6:35) at the same weight (70% ) and HRR (70-75%) on the tm - so I continue to see improvement in fitness too.

| AM - nice easy morning run. Legs felt fine but overall I felt a little heavy as compared to the AlterG run yesterday (not surprisingly). Which reminds me, saw a very good movie last night - Gravity. Highly recommend it.

| AM - 7 miles at a decent pace for me this morning - felt a little tired out afterwards. I think this is the longest outdoor run I have done since surgery.

| AM - 7 miles this morning on the treadmill. Still slow, but a really good run. At a point now where I am not really even thinking about the injury/surgery site - and that is a good feeling.

| AM - 6 miles easy outside this morning - cool enough for a light windbreaker in ATL (only because I did not have any long sleeve shirts). Caught a cold overnight - so as a result felt sluggish - lots of sinus pressure too. Not a bad run though.

| PM - 10 miles aerobic - good run - but quite slow. Not too worried - just hoping I start to see some results in the next few weeks.

| PM - 8 miles on the treadmill after work. Cancelled my entry to NYC marathon today. Knew I would not be running it after I had the surgery, but held off canceling until today. Deferred to next year. Oh well. Glad I am able to run pain free. Just have to work on getting back to where I left off.

PM - about 6 miles easy to moderate (for me in my current state of fitness) with Richie after work. Good to catch up with him. I officially withdrew from NYC this week - Richie is fighting PF but is on the mend and plans to run the race anyway with a couple of friends at an easy pace - to enjoy it - a victory lap in a sense. Will miss not being able to join him this year. But there will be other races and other opportunities.

| PM - 9.5 miles easy on a warm humid day. Felt ok for the first 6 miles or so, but then really did not have a very enjoyable time of it for the rest of the way.

| AM - early run in Appleton WI, (here on business). Quite chilly for me this morning in the upper 30's and windy. Had a nice run nevertheless - ran along a trail that parallelled the road where my hotel was located. Ran out with the wind and returned facing it, which was a bit more challenging. Came up yesterday in time for a meeting and attended the Green Bay game - first time to visit Lambeau. Check that box. Pretty cool experience.

| PM - first workout since the surgery (besides the aerobic running). Tempo on the treadmill following a 20 min warmup. 35 mins at what felt like 15k pace ( I say "felt like" because the actual pace was a bit slower than marathon pace was a few months ago). But it was good and my body felt strong. It was a nice workout. Last mile was actually at marathon pace. Pleased with the progress.

| AM - 4 mile easy shake out run this morning in ATL. Quite chilly - low 30's. Delaney and Tracy came up for a college tour - today is UGA. A little perplexing for me as a Gator....
