Just do it

I have been suffering from an injury around my inner ankle.  I thought it was a stress fracture for a while but some of the symptoms don't seem to match up.  I decided to go for 5 miles on the treadmill today just to see how it would feel.  I felt pretty good.  There was really no real pain... just some discomfort.  I think a stress fracture would have caused more pain while running.

 Lifted afterwards... Chest, shoulders and triceps along with a core workout. 

Got home a little bit late last night so unfortunately my normal morning workout was postponed to night time.  I was okay with that though. :)  Went to the Podiatrist and he stuck what looked like a piece of a cork board the orthotic he had already given me to give the arch more support.  I decided to go give a it a try tonight.

 I went and swam a mile (because then if you stop running you feel like you've still accomplished something and the urge to cry is lessened) and then I jumped on the treadmill and ran 4.  It actually felt really good and I wasn't feeling any pain at all during the run.  It was more after I stopped.  Right now it's kinda achy... Oh well such is life.  We shall see... 

So I did 40 minutes on the elliptical this morning.  When I got to the gym I realized I didn't have my headphones for my iPod so that was fun.  It said I ran over 4 miles WOO HOO!

 I then did some core work with biceps and back in the weight room.  Not too shabby. 

PFA tomorrow.  Went and ran 3 miles with some quick bursts.  Then I just did a small set of push ups and sit ups.  

Ran my PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment) for the AFROTC today.  Not too bad.  Did 75 push ups in a minute, 74 sit ups and did the 1.5 mile run in 8:35.  Not my best but considering the amount of running i have been doing it's pretty good.  My shin didn't like it too much though.

 Swimming was normal... 3 sets of 12 laps with about 1 minute of rest in between. 

Becca reminded me that I needed to blog... I keep forgetting.  I used my cool new swim suit this day :)  I did 3 sets of 12 laps.  Took about 33 minutes total.  It was a good swim and I enjoyed the new suit.

 David then decided to take his mountain bike on a little journey.  I went through the U campus and then along that road East of the Capitol to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, went up some beastly hillage and also fell down a hill.  It was good times.  Took my bike to the car wash because it was so muddy.
