  • 9 elliptical miles, 5 at 'marathon pace', 4 miles recovery
  • Some weightlifting...still a little tired/sore from Monday and Wednesday 

Tonight was a good workout, although it's just not the same as running!  I have been so happy in the last few weeks just to be running a little bit, but now I'm spoiled and three days of running in a week is NOT enough!  But I still need to keep it safe.  My achilles was niggley several times and tight a couple of times today after those 3ish miles of incline last night.  Although it may have been from sitting due to class and homework all day, which never helps anything the day after a run. I got it nice and warmed up with the elliptical and after a good foam session at the gym, it feels great.  Trying to rest it up and keep it loose so I can do 7-10 miles on Saturday if it will let me (flat and downhill)...can't wait to run again!

Nice job playin' it safe and doing the x-training and keeping the niggles away. I think, mentally, those 'niggles' are the hardest thing to overcome post injury. We become SO sensitive to the injured area! You are playing it smart and I hope tomorrow goes well for you.

You definitely hit the elliptical harder than I do. Good job.
