Alright, today was a very good workout. I did the elliptical for an hour, and kept my heart rate between 170 and 185 for nearly the whole time. This was just what I needed after taking a week off from running. Initially, I thought that taking a week fully off would make me go crazy. For the first two/three days, it did just that. After this time period, however, I began feelin pretty good (hmm... maybe this whole time off thing is not so bad after all). Now, I just feel anxious, like the fire under me has been re-lit. The area between my knee and hip is still sore, but my coach is condfident that it is a non-typical presentation of some IT stuff. I just started using a foam roller and that seems to really help. Within a day, the pain has nearly subsided. I am going to cross train until Friday or Saturday, then am finally going to resume running. I can't wait!!! Its like I am re-starting my running career, just at a higher fitness level!

Elliptical again today for an hour. To me, this thing is harder than running. It really gets your aerobic side going.

40 mins on the elliptical (6.5 miles), 20 mins on stationary bike (don't know distance). I really want to get running again! I want to make sure that my hip is ok to go (IT band still a bit tight), too. I know the time off will push me that much harder in the long run.

Aah, feels great to get a run in, even if it is not very big. I ran pretty easy pace, and my leg held up pretty well. I used a massage roller when I was done, which definitely seemed to loosen things up. Good to be starting up again.

An easy day today. Felt comfortable and the leg wasn't being to difficult. Felt sooo good to get out and run.

An easy eight today before officially beginning my training session for the summer tommorrow. I ran a little late in the morning and it was way too hot.
