48:00 minutes on the ellipitical again this morning, I also did some weight training on my legs and some core training on the usual areas, and that was an additional 30 minutes... I go to the Sports Medicine guy this morning so maybe he can give me some ideas as to what is wrong with my leg, and I am hoping he can get me onto the road to recovery. Other than that there is not much else to say, I am just trying to stay motivated and I think I accomplished that today, I just have to stay focused on the long term right now its the only thing that will keep me motivated...

Have a good one!

Great job, Clay. I think you are handling this all well. So is 48 min. your record for how long you can do the elliptical?

Clay, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I would suggest, really find a day each week where you can put in 3 hours on the eliptical if it does not bother your leg. You really don't want to lose that cardio you have gained. Hang in there. It really does not take long to get your running legs back if you keep up the cardio.

I have gone as long as 68 minutes, it is just hard to stay with it longer than that because I get kind of bored. But I know I will have to up that some here during the next few weeks.
