3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) Personal: I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races. |

30 mins on the elliptical in my boot!!! ZERO pain!! I didn't want to push it for the first time. I will ramp up the time tomorrow as long as my foot still feels the same. :) It was so nice to find a way I can break a sweat! And I discovered I can do planks no problem in my boot!! My world of working out is opening back up to me. I am very happy.

| 45 mins on the elliptical, no pain!!! I worked up a good sweat and pushed a little harder the last 2 mins to finish with a little huffing and puffing. Finished with 45 mins weights, core, planks and 3x1 min wall sits - uh oh, they are getting easier than last week!! :) |

All around a great day. I think I got my health insurance figured out so I can get the world's best PT in Chicago with my girl who has been doing my video gait and specializes with runners. I got my heart rate monitor all programed up to my garmin easy peasy. Then went off to biking! I have no idea what I am doing on the bike - especially in this walking boot! I tried to target zone 3 the majority of the time, which is aerobic/endurance zone. I ended up making a workout during the ride: 5 min wu, 20 min in zone 3-4, 5 mins zone 2, 20 mins zone 3-4+, cd in zone 2. Average zone: 3.0, Average HR: 129 I was planning on 1 hr ride, but as I approached 1 hr I was around 17 or 18 miles, so decided to round it out to an even 20. :) The first 15 miles were at 18 MPH - I never knew I could ride a bike that fast for that far! Although who knows with these exercise bikes. Total ride: 20 miles at 17.48 MPH. Yay, the ride was pain free in the boot! "Pain free" referring to my 4th metatarsal, my quads were on fire! Now I am getting a baseline and some numbers to play around with - my heart rate and bike speed! I have so many "!"'s bc I have biker's high and I feel like I'm back to training!!! Finished up with upper body weights, 3x12 real pushups (I want to start improving this number) and 3x1:30 planks.

1 hour easy long run on the bike in my boot. Zone 2 all the way, baby! My quads felt pretty fried from last night. Love it! Average zone: 2.6, Average HR: 122 Finished with 3x14 real pushups, 3x1:30 planks, 3x1:15 walls sits (that's right, they are longer)!

1 hour swim. I am pooped!!! 10 min waterjogging warmup, 2x[5x1:30 hard with 30 sec recovery], 2 min recovery between sets, 10 min cool down, swam some laps (~10 or 300 yards) to round out at 1 hr. First day of Pfitzinger's waterjogging schedule done! As soon as I started my first hard effort I realized I was in for it! Man, I didn't realize how hard this could be! I pushed so hard I almost threw up. Then, when I got out of the pool, my legs almost buckled because they were shaking so bad from fatigue!!! I am so happy about this. I can work with this. People, don't be afraid of injury because this stuff is hard! I'm not sure if I can wear my garmin heart rate monitor in the pool, so I just estimated my heart rate with my fingers after some of the repeats. I was hitting 120-130s recovering. They say your hr is 10% lower in the pool. I'd say I was between zone 3-4 (aerobic/anaerobic). Gotta find out about my garmin! :)

Long bike in boot trying to maintain 70-75% max HR. My total time was around 2:05:00, so I averaged 21.18 MPH?! This is a different exercise bike than what I had used last week. Today I used an upright bike, last week was one of those granny bikes. It could be the bikes are calibrated differently or it could be more efficient to bike in the upright position. The important thing is that I maintained the correct HR (74%) for the entire long ride! Avg HR: 136 I need to practice better fueling on the bike. 25 oz of sodium free water is terrible! Must bring more fluids and a little carbs/electrolytes. All-in-all a tough and wonderful workout! The first long ride of a century ride schedule. I feel comfortable with this. I might as well train for a century in my boot even if I'm not sure I will get out of my boot in time to ride it (a friend is riding one June 15th). Finished with 3x15 pushups, 1:30, 1:00 planks then called it a day.
