50:00 minutes on the Ellipitical this morning... I took it pretty easy, I kept the RPM between 85 and 90, no resistance. I am going to try and go alittle longer tomorrow, maybe 2 hours if it can hold my attention for that long, we shall see...

I also did 30 minutes of upper body weight training, high reps and low weight, I also did some strectching... Leg feels pretty good too.

The Doc says I will be out for about 6 weeks maybe 8, but he will check me in 6 weeks and go from there. I will also be doing some physical therapy starting on Tuesday of next week which I was told will include some swimming, that should be real fun considering I haven't been in a pool in a great long while, hopfully I won't drown... Wish me luck!

Clay, you have the right attitude about the injury. I still think you can run a late fall marathon if you could travel to Vega, Tucson or somewhere in the west. It is hard to do all the training and not have a marathon coming. Well, see how the recover goes.

By the way, me and Sylvia are tapering for TOU marathon and then St. George.

Cool. Good luck on those, I will check in on you and see how you did, stay safe.
