I know why I-Pods were invented. They are awesome for runners. Man your favorite tunes on a nice sunny october day in the mid 60's, what a runner's high. Today my hamstring felt recovered enough to do an easy 2 miler, it actually felt better running today than it has been. Still diffenitly some soreness. But if it recovers in a day or so and I can run I will take it for now. It kind of stinks to think that back in July and August I was averageing between 50 and 55 miles a week. For now I will build my base slowley again, no hills or speed work for now, just bulid easy. This is by far the worst injury I have had, I guess becasue I am an old man it takes longer to heal. I think this is the Lords way of humbling me. During the summer months I did'nt do anything to keep my core strong,. I kind of backed off from the strenght training. This has diffenitly taught me a lesson about keeping the core area strong to help fight against injuries. I will never slack that part of my training again. My total time for the 2 miles was 21:58. I also did 20 min on my eliptical, and 25 min. of weight training on my upper body. I also did 140 crunches and will build to at least 200. Tomorrow eliptical and weight's, then on Friday I will try running again. Catch ya later alligator.
