Hello all, The injury bug has had a good hold on me for the past six weeks. It's been kind of hard to shake. But I do think the leg is getting better. I have been doing 2 miler's about 3 to four times a week for the last couple of weeks. and the eliptical on my no running days. I have been doing alot of upper body strength training the past few month's and 200 crunches a day to try and keep my core strong. I am going back into this very slowly so as not to inflict another injury. Next week I hope to do more outside running than in, we will see how the old leg feels on Mon. Hang in ther Noonin.

A very nice day to to be out for a run. I wish that I was ready to go further and injoy. Today I did a very small run of 2 miles, still trying out the leg to see what it can handle on the road. It did'nt feel to bad not to sore, felt more tired than anything. Three days on the road this past week and a couple on the eliptical 30 min. a day. It so hard to be patient. Next week I will try with more steady runs on the road, and continue to work on my core strenghtening. If I have a day that I feel the old leg can't take the road I will do my eliptical.

I don't know how to run on ice skates, so today I opt to do 30 min. on the eliptical, and did 35 min. of upper body strength training. I also threw in 200 crunches. I am now tired of snow, come on spring.

The roads were clear enough to get in a run this evening, however it did start to snow again by the time I was done with my run. Today is the first day in about 5 month's that I felt like both legs were strong. No pain or discomfort in the injured leg and it did'nt get tired. So we will see what tomorrow will bring with another outside run. Still going to keep it easy for a while. I did 35 min. of upper body strength training again, with 200 crunches. I feel encouraged about my leg, hopefully it is more better than not. See ya on the roads.

I braved the sloppy roads this afternoon and got a little 2 miler in. My leg today was sore as I expected it to be. I new yesterday was to good to be true. We will just keep trying each day, it's bound to get better sooner or later.  I also did my costumary upper body strengthing for about 35 min. and of course 200 crunches. See ya tomorrow Noonin.

The roads were alot better to run on today, but that will change by tomorrow.  Good-Bye January. This month seems to drag for ever for me. Today makes 3 days in row of trying to do something that similates running for me. My leg was not to sore the first mile just kind of bothersome. The last .25 mile it was letting me know it was still a challenge. It got real shaky and tired but we gutted it out. Hopefully tomorrow we can make 4 days in a row. I did'nt do any weight's today, my Daughter is here from Vegas to have Emmas Heart checked out up to Primary children's tomorrow. Emma is having a hard time. I guess we will know better tomorrow. I did do 200 crunches to help out the core for strength. See ya tomorrow.
