Let's do this!

1 hour elliptical on a high level. walked on an incline for 10 minutes. My leg is feeling better. I'll probably try running next week. I have been doing all kinds of crazy PT exercises for my tibialis posterior. I need to keep it a regular thing in my daily life. Obviously I am weak in that area to have this happen twice in a year.

Back from injury Yahoo!  4 miles on the trail and I feel wonderful. I have tons of explosive energy, almost like I actually gained more fitness. I'm so happy!

The only question is do I have time to increase mileage for UVM? I just don't know! 

No running today. just going to jump back in slowly. 1 miserable hour on the elliptical :/

Ran 3 miles then walked half a mile, then ran 2 more miles. I had to force myself to run slow. I have the fitness to still pick up some speed, but I'm smart enough to know I could end up hurt again. Soooo I will be holding back for a few weeks. But oh it feels good to run!!! Nothing beats it. I love it !

20 minutes elliptical. I did strength train before running too. 

6! I should have rested today, but I resisted. So I ran 6!

23 minutes elliptical fun 

6!!!!!

3 pathetic miles with pain in my rib area. I don't know what's going on.

got on an elliptical where there was still some pain. For 25 more minutes. 

1 hour and 5 minutes on the elliptical. A little strength training.

I cannot lie, I loved watching Boston coverage this morning but I am seriously heart broken I couldn't be there. I am really frustrated that I cant' seem to get through a training cycle anymore without getting hurt. Where before (2002-2010)  my body held up like a work horse. I could put a lot of stress on it and it would always bounce right back. Not so much anymore. I finally got my calf healed up and started running a week ago. Thursday I started hurting in my ribs really bad. I went to urgent care Saturday morning only to find out that the really bad cough I've had for 3 weeks has put a stress fracture on a side and a back rib. I also have some cartilage damage in the same areas. FROM A COUGH. But this hasn't been any old cough, it's been really bad. Not letting me sleep, coughing until my ribs felt like they would snap in half. So here I sit wondering when I will run again. I tried Friday but it hurt really bad. I stopped after 3 miles. My side and ribs had intense pain. 

UNCLE!!! i've had enough! 

Workout today: 1 hour 15 minutes on the elliptical. Doesn't really hurt so much. The jarring of running hurts my ribs. But this afternoon I am feeling better. Maybe I will see what it's like to run tomorrow. I'll be careful 

9!!!! Feeling so so so so so so so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ran 5 on the old dreadmill, then 25 minutes on an elliptical. Im a little sore from yesterday.

Ran 7.5 with Scott. Good chit chat, went by quick. Legs feel fresh.

20 minutes elliptical.  

River trail plus river trail numero dos.

I had a very beautiful and sun shiney run on the river trail and the river trail number 2.  (it's still not connected, sick of the hold up). Felt good!  

5 outside in Sunshine before the clouds moved in. I didn't run until about 8:30. I'm glad I slept in and glad I got to run outside in the sun. My leg is having phantom-help me-I forgot what it's like to run everyday- pains. It will remember more in the coming weeks. Stupid right leg. I am weird, sometimes I will just be sitting here, and I will look down at my leg and cuss at it in my head and ask it what the Bleep is wrong with it that it keeps having this strain and tibia pain issue.  I really don't get it... ha ha

40 minutes on an eliptical and weights. 

7 miles. I feel a little slow, but I am really so happy to be out running. Beautiful morning, with a pretty sunrise tho it was a little cold. I can't believe the temps we've had for April. This is crazy. 

I had a dream last night that my Dr. called and said my Iron level was back up. Ha, yeah right. In my dreams.

8.20 on the River trail loop, twice. Beautiful crisp morning. My legs feel stale and my pace is kind of slow. I can't help but feel a little down about this. Still glad to be out running.

Avg pace 8:08 

7 miles on River trail uno and dos. Beautiful. I run more slowly now. If I try to pick up too much speed, my right leg creaks and then I feel weakness in the calf. What is to become of my running? Sad and a little scary.

Didnt run today. My legs hurt Sunday morning. So I lifted weights like a mad women and then elliptical hell for only 30 minutes.

pm: Night walk 3 miles 

3 miles of 6:00 pace sprints (200m) on the River trail. Good enough for me. I didn't even hurt. Nice.

48 minutes on the elliptical at the lame gym. Low intensity.
