Getting there! Wanted so much to go for five miles, but I'd like to be consistently able to run 4 miles every second day with zero discomfort, before I increase distance.

Felt really good, and only a tiny little twinge in the hip later in the evening.

8:40 avg pace.

First run with no walk breaks!! BOOM CHUCKA LUCKA LUCKA BOOM. You gotta be happy for the small victories ;) 8.45 avg pace (or so) on treadmill, 1.5 % incline.

+ 40 mins easy elliptical

Felt no pain from my Sunday run. Expect to feel a little discomfort today and tomorrow, but HOPEFULLY Im good to be running every second day. Refusing to increase distance beyond 3-4 miles until every second day is good.

Geez, it feels good to be running again though.

65 mins elliptical, with 10 x 2 mins hard, 1 min easy

Fah-fah-fah-fahREEZING today. Well, only 25, but thats pretty dang cold for this little Aussie.

Easy miles around 8:35 pace.

Epically long workout before my very last day of work in the US :)

65 mins easy elliptical

20 x dumbbell deadlifts with shoulder press, 25lbs (dumbbells)

Easy miles at 8:30 on treadmill with 1.5% incline + 30 mins easy elliptical and a nice long stretch.

Sad that my last run in the USA was on a treadmill but it was snowing ALL day and it was way too slippery to run in. Leaving on a plan tomorrow.... to wake up in summertime!
