Starting to get up early on a regular basis to beat the heat and get my runs in first thing in the morning.

My version of a tempo run today (first in 8 months).....Set the Garmin to beep if I fall below 12 mm.  Also pushed my daily mileage up to 5 miles today.

Nice to beat the roosters and sun out and run in shorts and a t-shirt with no gloves. 

Avg:  11:35    11:43/11:39/11:29/11:21/11:37

1 mile cooldown with the dog.

Didn't wear an ankle brace today - but the ankle felt good once it warmed up.

Think I'll call my chiropractor today.  Something in the right hip is not right - I have a lot less flexibility than in the left hip - probably from my time in a boot.

Went to the chiropractor last night and he said my right knee, hip, ankle and back were all out of line from my injuries and such.  I will go back again Thursday for another alignment.

Ran 5 miles this morning in the sprinkles.  Felt nice and cool - but not cold.  I kept by HR in the 70-80% range.  Interesting that after running a little faster yesterday, my heart rate seemed to stay in lower ranges today and what felt like faster speed than normal - but I only had my heart rate monitor on - so maybe I was imagining things.  Ran out of energy the last couple of miles - could be from trying to lose weight.

Last ankle injection tonight at the podiatrist.  Ankle is doing a lot better this last week.

2.25 miles easy day running with the dog.  Rode my bike up to Gold's Gym and did 1 hour upper body training.  One of my co-workers was at the gym, so did 20 minutes on the stationary bike with him and another 20 minutes on the treadmill. Biked home.

Ankle is a little twingy today, so decided to skip the long run.

Workout 1:  15 minutes stairmaster, 15 minutes torso trainer, 45 minutes upper body strength training, 30 minutes arc trainer.

I was really wiped out and slept for 90 minutes.

After dinner I went to a different gym that was open until 10.

Workout 2:  45 minutes lower body strength training, 60 minutes elliptical, 60 minutes stationary bike. 

I'm giving myself 10 miles of cross training for the 3 hours cardio.
