| If anyone really gives a hoot I have been laying low for a while and trying to get my hamstring to heal up. The first week of Oct. I took off and did no exercising or running at all. The last 2 weeks I have been hitting the Nordic Track 5-6 days a week, with upper body weight training. My hamstring was feeling good the past week. My goal today was to do a 2 mile run at a very easy pace, by the time I went a block the old hamstring started hurting again. Needlesss to say I am desappionted that this just dos'nt want to let go and get better. I am thinking of a cortazone shot maybe that will help. I did 10 min. on he eliptical after my 2 miler which took 22 min. and some change. I also did 20 min. of upper body weight training. Tomorrow I will go back to the eliptical. Oh well. |

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.

| Not a whole lot to report today. This Morning my hamstring was a little sore from running outside. But by the end of day and lots of stretching it feels really good tonight, hardly even noticable. So tomorrow I will try another short easy run. Today I did 30 min on the eliptical and 20 min of weight training on the upper body with some more crunches. Hopefully my hamstring is begining to heal. cross my finger's. |

Another runner's high day today, love these fall temps for running. There was a little yuk in the air, but according to Dan Pope the air quality was still in the good range. My hamstring was felling ok during my run today infact it was a lot less than wed. run so hopefully this thing is begining to be on the mend. This has lasted over two month's. I will not do any hills or speed work untill all the discomfort is gone. My total time today was 25:12 with a very slow and easy 10 min pace. After my run I did 25 min. on the eliptical and about 140 crunches. No weight's today, We will take a break and hit them tomorrow. Have a great weekend.

Strapped on the Blue and Silver Kayano 13's after work and went for a very easy run. Decided to extend a mile today and see how the hamstring would hold up. It was a little on the stiff side to begin, but seem to lossen as I went along. I went down in the river bottoms today, I have'nt been down in for a couple of month's. Did the 3 mile loop with some change. After I did 25 min of core strenghting with some weight's and 150 crunches. My total time for the run was 33:41, mile splits were as follows,
Mile 1. 10:18
2. 10:55 some uphill
3. 10:20
So my hamstring is still a little tender, but I think it is coming along, rather slow though. We will just try and hang in there. |

My hamstring was a little on the sore side this morn. after yesterdays run. But by the afternoon and some strecthing during the day it felt ok to do 30 min. on the eliptical. After of course I did 30 min of weight training on the old upper body. I did 190 crunches, almost to my goal of 200. I plan on doing a run outside tomorrow of at least 3 miles maybe more depending on how the hamstring feels. See ya then. |

Nice day for a Halloween eveining run. Started off thinking doing another 3 miler, but by the time I got to the river bottoms my hamstring was feeling ok so I did my 5 mile loop, out to GU Corner and back. This run has a couple of small hills that are only about 400m long. I was able to handle them ok. I was almost to GU Corner and my Bro. Rambo Jr. drove by and waved gave me little boost up the hill. Hello Rambo!!! On the way back felt ok, the last 1.25 miles my hamstring was a little tired but did not hurt like before. Dan Folgalber's Nexus and U2's It's a Beautiful Day helped me forget the discomfort. I have ran with much worse pains. All in all it felt good to be down in the river bottoms again. My total time was 52:15 pace miles are as follows.
Mile 1. 9:39
2. 10:10
3. 10:11
4. 11:00 Hill
5. 10:08
I also did 25 min. of upper body weight training to work on the old core strenght.
