Easy 5 on the treadmill in the morning. I have decided to rate the pain to show progress (or lack thereof). On a scale of 0-10 where 10 is how bad it was last saturday (day of injury) and 0 is perfect. Today was a 5. I could feel the inflamation but it didn't slow me down. If I can't get down to a 1-2 within about a week or if I get up to an 8 or 9 then I will be taking time off running completely. At least that is the plan today.
I played the speed up/down game again today with some tweaks on the incline too. The best thing about the run was watching 24 on the console. That is the perfect show for the treadmill. Time passes quickly as I get into the show.
T-37:10 (7:26) ~.5% incline
PM: Slow 3 miles in the evening on the treadmill. I wanted to watch another episode of 24 so to not be a total couch potato I visited the TM. First mile in 10 min, the next two were faster, but still easy. The pain scale read a 2! Probably due to the slower pace. It did appear when I started playing with the incline. Note to self...Don't do that again for a while.
