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.

Day 4 in a row of trying to work into building back my base miles from my 6 week injury layoff. The old leg felt pretty good the first mile was not much of an issue until the last .25 mile like yesterday. It seems to recover enough in 24 hrs. in order to run each day, so that much I am thankfull for. Hopefully it will begin to come around and at some point get strong again. I am planing on running tomorrow which was my goal for the week to make 5 days ina row. I will more than likley stick with this routine another week or two and then increase my milage a little. Today I also did 35 min of upper body strength training and another 200 crunches. At this point my average min. per mile is not an issue until I feel I have a good base under my belt. Have a great weekend and we will talk tomorrow.

My goal this week was 5 days in a row for running, I was able to do that today. The leg was a little on the weak side and the last mile a little shakey. But we got through it. So I guess this counts as my long run for the week? I know I will improve it will come in time. Hopefully next week we will be that much better. I'm tired another 60 plus hour week at work.
