I'm going to blog my walking miles until I can get back to running. 

Walked 2 miles easy after work today with the dog.  Foot felt pretty good in the brace, but I don't want to push it too much and re-injure the ankle.

Started week 4 (but it is really week 5) of the 100 pushup challenge.  Most of our co-workers have dropped out, but there are still a few of us die hards hanging in there.

Tonight I am going to do more upper body and some Wii Fit workout.

Day 3 of week 4 of the 100 pushup challenge.  Stomach has been hurting so did all pushups wussy style. 160 total.

Power finally came back on at 5:30 this morning. It was a cold night.

Sold my Utah Valley Half Marathon slot today.  I was starting to worry about getting in shape for it in time and really didn't think I would be to that point.

Tonight was a bit more positive.  I tightened down the brace and headed out for a walk in the snow with the dog.  2 1/4 miles and I was probably doing 17-18 minute miles.  Some good stretching afterwards.  I was even starting to think of a recovery plan while walking. :)

Another successful walk today.  Braced up the ankle and headed out.  For the first mile I was averaging about 18:20, but by the end I was down below 17 MM.  3.32 miles total.  Icing the ankle now.  I am starting to feel some hope on recovering!
