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.
