60 min's on the elliptical today at Summit fitness. They have had a deal all month that it was only $5 for the month of December. I decided today to go pay the five bucks and spend the rest of the month there to try and give the hamstring time to heal. It was feeling really good much of last week and then on Saturday it started to hurt again and it hurt the rest of the weekend. The gym will be a nice break from the day-to-day running I've grown use to the last 3 years and hopefully with some real time off of not running the hammy will feel better. I'd rather go through this now then in May or something. Plus I think I have a very similar injury to what Paul had last year around this time and he's the master of healing injuries and coming back just as fast or faster. So I'll follow his elliptical workout stuff and see what happens. 

Side note is that it has snowed here in the land of Zion for almost the entire day. It's not sticking to the ground but still pretty bone chilling conditions for our neck of the woods. This make the gym sound that much better.

Ah, some redemption for having such nice weather while we are freezing in "real" bone chilling weather!

Hope the hiatus helps the hammy heal (any more h-words to fit into that sentence!).

Merry Christmas!

A nice warm gym sounds nice to me Clyde, I ran in a blizzard this morning here in good old Salem Utah and its still snowing;-(

Merry Christmas.

Guys I know I really can't even complain at all. Dealing with the heat of the summer is way easier than dealing with the global cooling you poor folks have to deal with.

I guess you can look at the bright side of the snow.... Most people like a white Christmas. Just not us guys in Dixie!

Merry Christmas to you and your families.
