I was able to run Payson Canyon this morning with the gang, my calf did surprisingly well. It was a little sore at the beginning but it seemed the longer I went the better it seemed to feel so that was a pleasant surprise! I ran with Kim for some and then I ran the last half with Tom and Alan, I didn't push the pace but I had 6 miles that were 8 minute mile pace or less so that was a good thing. My average pace was 8:03 with a total time of 1:28:46, the goal is to get this were I'm averaging a 7:30 pace or better so I am real close. I really needed this run today and I almost didn't go because of the fear of my calf not being able to handle it but it did so that's one under my belt. I finished up with my Lower body weight training, squats, leg raises and calf raises. See ya tomorrow.

| I wasn't able to run much today because of my really bad quads that were hurting, they were pretty sore from the Payson canyon run on Thursday and I wasn't going to make it worse. Joel worked on my calf last night to and it was pretty tender and sore so I went conservative. 4.10 miles on the elliptical in 40 minutes, it took me a bit to get the legs so they would actually go a decent clip but then it seemed to get the old quads pretty loose, I'm hoping that I will be able to get back at it on Monday. See Ya Monday.

| I ran out towards Payson this morning and my poor calf just would not cooperate! Very Painful, so after a mile I turned back for home and went down on the elliptical for 40 minutes just so I could feel like I did something! Joel is suppose to work on it again tonight, so I don't know what to think... Very disappointed and really, really, frustrated! Every year getting ready for St George this happens, every D@#$ Year! Same injury! Same place! Same frustration!!!! Later!

I warmed up on the elliptical for 2 miles and then I went out on the road for 5 miles and some change. I ran out towards Mini GU corner and it was way hot, I usually run in the mornings but I couldn't today so I went this afternoon. It was pretty windy and way warm but I survived, my calf seemed okay but it would be sore when I stopped so that was a little of a concern but it did better than I thought it would. Average pace for the run was 8:29 with a total time of 43:00 even, I had soccer practice with Ethan after my run so no time for anything else today. See ya tomorrow.

60 minutes on the elliptical and probably the same tomorrow, that's all my PT will let me do for now so I will have to live with it. Later.

| I ran out towards Mini GU but stopped a little short, calf was feeling better but not a hundred percent but for sure on the mend. The real bad thing was my legs felt like lead bricks, they had no strength and it was a death march pretty much so a little discouraging... I had some old shoes on so that maybe that had something to do with it, I will try new shoes tomorrow and see how things go. I feel like I have a long way to go, oh well at least I was able to run. Pace was way slow at 9:14 with a total time of 47:02 I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups. We will see how my calf recovers for tomorrow and I hope I can continue running and get back to it!
See ya tomorrow.

| I tried to run this morning and it was a no go with my darn calf! I'm really considering just bagging the marathon at this point, I'm really disappointed and I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I am running out of time and it doesn't want to get better... I will maybe give it until Monday and see if there's any improvement if there isn't then I'm out! See ya tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

| Well, I tried some new topical stuff on my calf that I got from Pat Loss that he has used in the past and it seemed to help a little bit. I was able to run some but I really didn't feel great just from the fact that I just have no energy, but the calf did better today so I have decided to give this thing another week and my plan is to see if I can get my mileage back up to where it was before the injury this next week... And then if I can get in a decent long run next week, 10 to 15 miles, then my plan is to stay in this and see what I can do, I would still have time to get in a couple 20 milers and then maybe not taper as much but again that will all depend on next week. I will have to be able to be back up to at least 6 to 7 miles a day by Friday and then a decent long run on Saturday. No watch today as it was out of battery but it felt like about an 9 minute mile, very slow and very laboring, I hit the elliptical for 3 miles in 30 minutes and I felt a little better after that. I all so did my lower body weight training in between the running and the elliptical. See ya Monday.

I went out this morning and tried to run and I only got in about a half a mile and I had to turn back! My calf was hurting and I have a pinched nerve on the same leg that was really painful that went all the way to my lower back. It gave me a sinsation that my leg was going to give out, really disappointing! I got home and just sat on the porch in dis-belief:( I think that ths is probably it for me this year... I will see what happens the rest of the week but it doesn't look good, I just hope I can get out of my Hotel rooms, I am not going to be forced to go down and waste a bunch of money that I don't have. Just really having a bad day today I was really holding out hope for something good this morning but maybe its just not meant to be this year.

| I ran 2.2 miles on the elliptical in 22 minutes. I still can't run at all but I have no pain on the elliptical so my PT said that was a go. between my stess fracture and my strained abdonmial muscle I am not feeling real great, but I know it will get better but it is going to be a long haul.
See ya Later.

| 40 minutes on nthe elliptical with some resistance, afterward I did my lower body weight training and it finally felt good to actually do something. Everything felt pretty good so I am hoping that I am on the road to recovery some what. Its a little late but I will take anything that I can get at this point.
Later.

| Nothing today. My elliptical is not working and I won't have it fixed until next week some time, if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all! This year was not meant to be for a marathon.
I might just stop running all together.
Later.
