Let's do this!

This morning....good hell where do I start? It all began at 4:45 with an attempt at running on the tread. Which abruptly ended 60 seconds later because I feel like my right glute and low back are being jarred. I don't know how people deal with an injury but I am really beginning to feel really hopeless and lost. 

Speaking of lost....I lost it this morning. After doing 30 minutes on the stair master and an hour on the elliptical I had a breakdown. I was watching my friends and other people running and it was all to much. Yep I cried at the back of the gym. An older friend named Ginnie must have sensed something because she suddenly turned around and came up and asked me how I was. I cried more. She knows me and she knows how hard this has been for me. She has watched me really take off this last year and a half.

I don't know if I can do the blog anymore until I am running again. It's all to much of a muchness for me.

1 hr artrainer, 21 minutes elliptical hell. weights!

45 minutes on the stairs master, 20 min on the artrainer and 25 minutes on the elliptical.

Sooo boring. I miss you running.

I woke up at 4 am and for some reason turned off my alarm. Probably because I didn't want to have to hear the dreaded noise in 20 min. But I fell back asleep and woke at 4:50.  I got there late. I did the stair master for 30 min and the elliptical for 35 minutes.

Boring.

I lifted a tiny bit as well, and worked my core. Merri and I sat around on the weights chatting for a few minutes and Roy cracked the whip on Merri to either lift or not chat. Merri built up her pecs. In fact I think her pecs might be bigger than Roy's now.

I have PT tonight and I have a plan to rest for about 9-10 days starting this weekend. I figure I better do it  now before we're any closer to spring. I want to fully heal.

1 hr on the arctrainer, 34 minutes elliptical style.

Tried running on the tm again today without any success. The stop button was again hit after about 20 seconds. Discouraged doesn't even come close to the words I would use to describe how I am feeling these days.

It's been exactly 4 weeks to the day since I last ran.

No workout for me today. I am trying to rest my issues. My husband was out of town, so there's no way I would have been able to talk myself into it anyway.
