AM - 5 with Nikki this morning. She did better than she has in a while. I was even able to get her into a much faster than normal progression in the last mile. She didn't complain so I kept upping it slowly. Ended with her feeling great. Good way to start off the week.

PM - 6.71. Not what it was supposed to be. Today was the first day of my training schedule. I warmed up 3 miles at MP then into what was supposed to be 4 at HMP. 2 miles into HMP my foot started burning and my ankle really started hurting so I back it back down to MP then cranked it back up but I felt the blister forming and the ankle never loosened up. So now as I sit here my foot is still burning and my ankle is screaming at me. I thought after a break yesterday and the way it felt this morning I was good to go. Now I might spin for the rest of the week :( not sure what I'll do, might tape and keep running through it. Either way it's ice and not walking for the rest of the day.

After yesterday's ankle melt down I was playing today by feel. So when I woke up my ankle ached so I went back to bed and slept in. I went to the gym and decided to spin figuring that would be much better. I can now say that there is something more mind numbing than a TM. However, my ankle feels much better and I can say my body hasn't felt that good during or after a workout in quite awhile. Which leads to my next decision to spin for the next few days and start running on Friday tentatively and do a long run on Saturday. So I'm spinning for the same amount of time as my runs would take me and hope I can get something out of them but my mileage is going to be higher than normal.

10.5 on the bike in 32 min / 3.7 on the eliptical 33 min. Can't say as I like either that much. My rear is now saddle sore, don't know how bikers do it. I was tempted to run today but somehow managed to control myself and stick to my plan. Ankle still is really soft.

Last day of spinning, hopefully. Ankle is still not right but I'm going to try and run tomorrow AM with my wife at what should be a really soft pace and go from there. 20 miles of spinning does not equal 10 miles of running in effort. It always takes some time to work into the cardio and HR I'm looking for on a bike.

So my wife is still on her weight loss kick and she keeps asking me what to do and I always say run more. I found this quote which proves my point.

 If you run 100 miles a week, you can eat anything you want -- Why? Because

(a) you'll burn all the calories you consume,

(b) you deserve it, and

(c) you'll be injured soon and back on a restricted diet anyway,

-- Don Kardong

AM - 6.68 Easy run with Nikki trying to test the ankle out. It was good to run but I'm still concerned about my ankle. The first couple of miles loosened it up a bit but I still was feeling a "twinge" from my ankle that would shoot up to my knee occasionally. I'm going to run another soft run this afternoon before I decide what to do tomorrow.

PM - 5 Started off with an easy pace and after three miles my ankle loosened up a bit so I kicked it up to MP for one and into a progression for the last mile finishing the last .25 at 5:50. Now, the ankle still does not feel good and I'm really debating what I'm going to do tomorrow. I have a LR on the schedule and am thinking of doing loops so I can bail out at any time. Time to start drugging up and hoping. If not I'll be visiting my favorite neighbor.

Woke up this morning with my ankle feeling better than it has in a couple of weeks so I decided to do my scheduled long run. I still wanted my option to bail out at about any time so I ran a mile from my house to do a 3 mile loop. The plan was 5x3m progressing each loop with the mile to and from my house as a warm up / cool down. 

1 - 20:46 (6:55)

2 - 20:28 (6:49) 

3 - 20:14 (6:45)

4 - 19:44 (6:35)

5 - 19:17 (6:25)

 Overall with wm/cd 17/1:55/6:45. Overall felt really good. Ankle held up although there still is a "twinge" but not like it has been.
