"If we don't suffer enough we won't remember it."

Physical Therapy exercises, walk for 20 minutes on treadmill and yoga.  None of it's as fun as running 10 miles.

30 min bike at Gym

Achilles is feeling much better this week.  Can walk without pain.  Still nervous about running though.  Will wait until at least Saturday. 

I'm not holding out much hope in doing the SLC Marathon.  I feel like I've lost a lot of conditioning the last 6 weeks.  My focus is now to take it slow and hope for Utah Valley. 

My daughter didn't have preschool today like usual.  I took her with me to the gym, but she wasn't as interested in coloring while I biked as she was on Tuesday.  I biked for 12 minutes.  How pitiful is that!  She said, "I want to go swimming now" and I quit.  That's how much I like biking.  We went to the pool and I worked on teaching her how to swim.  We've got a lot of work to do there.

Did 20 min yoga show before bed.  Yoga can potentially be a very good strength workout, but this was easy yoga, more like meditative stretching than really working out. 

I was a little more motivated to cross train today after I got on the scale and realized I've gained about 3 lbs.  Swam for 45 min, walked for 10 min and biked for 20 min.  The PT said I should be able to walk pain free before I started running.  I was encouraged I could walk for 10 minutes without pain, only a little sensation towards the end like it wasn't quite right.  I think if I kept going another 10 It might have hurt.  But a few weeks ago I cold only walk about 2 min before I was in a lot of pain.

Not much today, just 1 1/2 miles walking on the treadmill and some leg exercises.  Was encouraged that I could walk for over 20 minutes with only minimal pain starting at the end.
