| I seemed to have an injury on wed. I don't know what I reall y have done. After wed run and sitting around for an hour I stood uo and started to walk and some pain in my left leg, just above the outside ankle between the ankle and shin bone. Also some swelling, So no running thurs, or fri. Just used lots of ice to get the swelling to go down. Seem s better today, mo swelling, pain is minamal mostly to the touch. I did 30 min on the eliptical today did good, did not seem to bother me. So on mon I will try and do 2 to 3 miles on the road and test things out. This is bad timimg as the Ogden Marathon is fast approching, I will just have to take each day at a time until then. I did 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and 200 crunches. |

I decided to give my legs a try at running today, I have not ran since wed of last week. Trying to give the injured leg a recoup. I wore the chopat compression sleeve to give some support and tryed to keep things easy, no hills just stayed on the flat. It was feeling better but after the run and some ice therapy it still seems be a bother. It dos'nt feel like it's on the bone, more next to or along the bone. Kind of like what I had on the other leg back in August before SGM. That was a six week healing process. I don't have six weeks for this one, so not sure what to do. I did 25 min on my bowflex upper body and 200 crunches. |

Beautiful morning for a marathon, perfect temps at the start with the sunhine begining to show it's rays. I was not sure how this was going to go today with the injury to my left lower leg. Doc took x-rays no broken bones so I decided to go for it. My injury was really not a bother at the begining, and actually did feel good until mile 20 Ogden Canyon started to make it's effect known. Pretty muche limped in from there. My legs is sore and swollen as am am writing this on tues. evening. I will take the week off and hope to try a run on sat. or mon. My Garmin died at the begining of mile 20 was on target for about a 4:20 or 4:25 marathon until the injury reared it's ugly head. Mile split's are as follows.
Mile 1. 9:20
2. 9:26
3. 9:27
4. 9:14
5. 9:21
6. 9:47
7. 9:30
8. 9:37
9. 9:55
10. 9:36
11. 10:05
12. 9:56
13. 10:19
14. 10:36
15. 10:50
16. 10:59 Leg starting to hurt
17. 10:36
18. 10:41
19. 12:25
20. 11:54
At mile 20 After recharing my garmin it diplayed total time at this point at 3:23:49.
I wonder what might have been if not for thr injury? Hmmmm.
Hopefully I will be well enough for Utah Valley. Cross your finger's and toe's. |

| I just did nice and easy pace today to test out the injury and see how things are progressing. The larg did not really bother me at all, still a bit of swelling but ice seems to help it go down. I think I try and stick with some short distance next week and hopefully increase a bit from there. Have a great weekend . | |

| I decided to try a reduced golf course loop today and see how my injury is recovering. For the most part I just went real easy, I also walked for 1 min. after each mile just to be extra carefull. Did not seem to bother me at all during the run a little bit of tightness after and maybe a very slight swelling. I did the daily icing and it seems to be okay at this point. We will see what tomorrow brings. My legs are still feeling the effects of the marathon a little over a week ago, so we will keep on the easy side. I did di 25 min on the bowflex, upper body and 200 crunches. | |

| Today I did just an our and back, went to the top of golf course and took the little side trail, then back home. Kind fo tired today I think the longer hours at work and less sleep kind of took it's toll this week. Plus I'm still not 100% recovered fromm the marathon, but things are coming along. I did 25 min owflex upper body and finished with 200 crunches. |

| Today I did anice easy long run up and over Harry's Hill. Came out by the Stk. Cntr. in Salem, back to Gu Corner for a refule. Next a little Golf Course loop and home. My injury of the past three weeks was not an issue today, things felt good all the way. However it does seem to swell a little bit, but ice seems to help it to be ready to rock and roll the next day. I am pleased about this weeks training, a full week have not done that for a few weeks. I am getting excited for Utah Valley Marathon in a few weeks. If things keep progressing in the direction they seem to be at this time, I should be ready to go. Will that's about all for this week. have a great Memorial Day weekend all. |

| Nice run this morn around the golf course, also inclied the little side trail along the river. For the most part the legs did feel good today. I did 25 min on the bowflex, and finished with 200 crunches. I started using the big foam roller on my legs muscels and IT Bands, thought I would try this for a while and see if this will help my IT Bands for the marathon. |
