Wow, I think my leg is officially out of action. Today's run was short, but faster than it should have been and my leg is no good.

I cancelled my run in the Rome marathon. It has been too stressful with this injury. I keep trying to come back and run before I should so that I can still be in shape for the Marathon, but my leg isn't healing and I won't be in the kind of shape I need to be in for the Marathon. It is a sad day.

However, now I will just let my leg heal and slowly start building the mileage back up and see if I can hit a Marathon up in the Fall. Maybe Ljubljana or Florence? I haven't seen the schedulel yet, but we'll see. It feels like a ton of bricks has been lifted off my shoulders though!

Morning cross fit workout. 5 rounds of 20 burpies, 20 air squats, 10 double under jump rope, and 20 crunches.

I stayed away from the jump rope because of my leg.

PM: 30 minutes on the eliptical...I am knew to that machine so still getting used to it, but I got a pretty good workout and did a little over 4.5 miles. Occasionally I will get going really fast for about a minute and do that every few minutes.
