I arrived home form vacation today around 4 pm, spent the last seven days in California with the family and my Daughter Haylies family. Did five days at Disneyland a a few days at the beach. It was a fun week and good to get away from thinks for a while. Was going to try and run on vacation, but the hamstring was a bother the day before left town. So I gave it a rest for 10 days in hopes it wpold give it some rest.

I went out this afternoon and did a mini golf course loop, The hami was a little tight the first few mile. Around mile three it started to loosen up a bit and did ok the rest of the way. My paln for this week is to ease back into my training routine and get in five days of training, although it will be on the easy side just to see how things go. I am trying to get ready for another marathon in August (Park City) hope things go will in thr training dept.

Today I did the Old Bishop Storehouse route, just a nice easy rolling up and down hills, really nice and gentle. My left leg is still having a weakness feel to it, not sure what is going on with the old thing. I will continue to go nice an easy until the body says otherwise. I did 25 min on the Bowflex, upper body and 200 crunches.

I was really feeling my hamstring today, my left leg just feels so weak and unsatable at this point. Not sure what to do just keep going easy, this is really playing havic with my speed and overall performace. I only was able to do 4 miles on the road today and crossed trained with the eliptical. I also spent another 25 min on Bowflex consentrating on upper body and core strength. Then finished with 200 crunches. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

My leg was feeling a bit better which allowed to feel a little more like my old self. I hope that things are finally on th mend, I ran to the top of the golf course via the little side trail along the river, and then back. My leg did much better on the second half of my run and even did a couple of hill repeats. I did another 25 min on the bowflex upper body and core strengthening and 200 crunches. then I did 20 min on the eliptical at a moderate pace. Todays workout finally felt good. I will take tomorrow off in hopes of doing a long run early sat morn.

I was able to get in a long run today it did feel good to go out early this morn in the cooler temps. However there was some rain showers for a few min. but it did feel good made it a little on the muggy side though. I ran to the base of Harry's Hill this morn, then back to GU Corner, made a Golf Course loop and then home. My hamstring was a bit of a bother for about the first 4 miles and then seem to loosen up a bit after that. So the second half of my run felt better than the first. I am still a bit on the slow side but my body is telling me that the hamstring is not ready to sart pushing. I will monitor next weeks traing and go from there, right now I am glad that i can still run a bit even though It is a little bit slow. See ya next week.
