I warmed up with 20 minutes on the elliptical and then I went to the treadmill and did 21 minutes at a 9:13 pace for a total of 2.30 miles and then I did another 20 minutes on the elliptical to finish up. The last 20 minutes I kept the RPM above 95, so all in all it was a good workout a total of 61 minutes. I wanted to see how my groin would hold up with this type of workout and see if I could handle it, if I recover for tomorrow then I will continue with this until I am healed up... I don't think I will lose any fitness with this kind of work out and it will keep me happy until I can get passed the groin pull! I also finished up with some upper body weight training on the BowFlex same workout as usual and some push-ups...

See ya tomorrow.

Same workout as yesterday except I had to alternate my treadmill miles because my groin was not loosening up, so I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and then 1 mile at 9:13 pace and then another 20 minutes on the elliptical, pushing the pace holding the RPM above a 100 for the whole 20 minutes... I then finished up with a mile on the treadmill, cooling down the last .25 I then finished up with some core training and some push-ups. I kept the pace on the treadmill very easy as not to aggravate the injury, I seem to get the most discomfort when I'm running, theres is no pain when I am on the elliptical... I hope I can get the darn thing feeling better so I can get out on the road again, but I am also glad I am not out running in the smog, its horrible out there right now, so its probably good that I am inside!!!

See ya tomorrow

I went a little longer on the elliptical this morning before I started the treadmill, 42 minutes and I kept the pace easier than yesterday just to see if that made it easier on the treadmill. I then went 2.53 miles on the treadmill in 24 minutes for a total of the two workouts was 66 minutes, and my groin pull seemed to do better on the treadmill today than it did yesterday so that was a good sign... The pace on the treadmill was pretty easy for the most part, I just want to get this darn thing healed up so I can get back out on the road;-D I finished up with some upper body weight training on the BowFlex where I upped the weight and extended some of the reps in the sets to help feel the burn, if you know what I mean!

Thats about it for today, see ya tomorrow.

My groin and hip were a little sore this morning so I didn't do the treadmill and kept the pace a little easier on the elliptical, 45 minutes total with the RPM around 90 for most of the workout... I then finished up with my core training and some push-ups, and the usual stretching. I wish I could get this thing healed up so I could get back out on the road again, it seems like I have been injured for ever, I'm sick of it! Oh well, at least I can still do somethings I guess I should count my blessings... Its probably been good that I haven't been running outside with all the smog, my lungs are thanking me for sure!

See ya tomorrow.

Leg is really hindering me or should I say my groin and upper thigh, I was able to hammer 50 minutes out on the elliptical, but the treadmill was a no go today, averaging about 95 to 105 on the RPM meter! It looks like the elliptical until further notice, its a major bummer but this seems to be the story of my life when it comes to running but I will keep fighting until I get there!!! No strength training I am taking care of my sweet wife who is in a bad way right now, she had a MRI today so hopefully they can help her. She has major, major, headaches and they have come on very sudden so we and the doctors are very concerned, we are praying really, really, hard right now!

See ya tomorrow...

I had a ruff night with my wife last night so I didn't get much sleep,  I waited until after my son Ethan's basketball game to get my workout done. Started out with 20 minutes on the elliptical and the groin was feeling pretty good so I did 2 miles on the treadmill, actually 2.20 in 20 minutes, I then went back to the elliptical for another 11  minutes and then I finished up with 1.10 miles on the treadmill in 10 minutes... Groin felt alot better today which was kind of weird so I took advantage of it, my foot felt awesome too so I am hoping that my groin and hip will get better soon! Total time today was 61 minutes;-D

see ya Monday
