Let's do this!

Was able to run 2 miles today without discomfort or pain. Nothing. I did some speed on/offs. I can still hit those low 6's. Going far is a different story.

I am so glad. However I can tell the endurance is lacking now. Of course that was going to happen. 

Easing back in. Won't run again till Friday (3 miles) Hopefully this is goodbye to that calf issue for good this year.

50 min elliptical and then came home and ran 4 miles on the river trail. avg pace 8:14. its good to be running. saw rachelle on the trail today. 

This is what happens if you are Lily Wheatfill, and you get injured running for 5 weeks. You start to build back muscle. I've been a weight lifting fool that last month...again. Now, just yesterday I started changing my diet to start 'cutting', so I will trim off excess fat to reveal the new bigger beautiful muscle. unfortunately, this means less food and no cheating. its really hard. But I've done it before, here goes.

Happy friday! Strength trained  this morn for 30 min. Then intense intervals on elliptical hell. Only 35 min of that because I had to go to Walmart before I went home. I felt like i didn't stop working out because I sprinted around the store getting my groceries. Walmart is a dump and the employees are a little scary, yikes. Got home and put all my groceries away. I felt cheated because I didn't run. So I got my 2 youngest some breakfast and got my oldest up to watch them (he is almost 13, crazy!) I ran 3.5 miles river trail loop style and picked up some speed. I felt so happy and free.  Almost felt like my normal self being able to run a little hard. Please keep me in your prayers. Well, my calf anyway. I really really want it to hold for the rest of this summer. I hope I gain my endurance back fully. Its lacking, I can tell. Good luck to anyone running UVM tomorrow. I am so sad, was supposed to be there but had to defer mine till next year. So run hard for me!  this is a run on blab fulla grammar errors. all credit to my awesome new htc vivid. hehe

went to the gym and worked shoulders, biceps and triceps in the weight. core too. then 41 min elliptical. left running with friends kira and julie for 3.5 miles. went down canyon road which is long and steep. tempo down for me, hit a 6:28 pace. felt great on the calf. returned to the gym where i got a text my uncle died. so heartbreaking. sadness.
