Well I was finally able to run this morning...I decided to take it easy and just test my leg out a mile at a time. I was up at 5:30 am and then headed out the door and I can't believe how much sun light we have lost over the last 2 and half weeks, I think fall is on the way. Started out real slow averaging around an 8:50 mile and then just kinda kept it right there for the first half of the run.The second half I slowed down alittle bit just to be safe and my legs were real tired too, average pace was 9:24 and my heart rate was alittle high at 146, total time was 56:30. Legs felt heavy but that was to be expected, my leg was feeling pretty good on a scale of 1 to 10 pain wise it was about a 2, so that is a good sign. I think tomorrow will tell the real story on whether I can train on it or not, I will have to see if it is sore or not but all indications right now tell me it will probably feel fine, as it is not sore right now. I iced really good after the run for about 15 minutes and I will probably do it again in a while just to be safe. I have been taking Aleve every 12 hours and I seem to be getting better results with that than just regular IBprofhin... So all in all I am really pleased with the results this morning, but tomorrow will tell the story and I hope it is a good one. I also did 30 minutes of upper body weight training, two sets of each exersize with low weight and high repititions.
