"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

No running again today, just trying to nurse along my toe... It does feel a lot better today so I am confident that I might be able to do some light running tomorrow or Wednesday, I think if I tape it right I should be good to go! Well that's about it, was able to sleep in this morning and get some extra ZZZ's that is always a good thing and I think my body is enjoying the time off even though I am not !!!

See ya Tomorrow...

No running today my toe is still giving me problems, I am optimistic that I will be able to get out tomorrow morning at least that is the plan... This is so stupid. Why do these things have to happen? I just don't get it! Oh well, see ya tomorrow.

I decided to get my butt out of bed and tape up my old toe and try and make a go of it! I took it about a half a mile at a time just to evaluate and see if it was getting worse or was it staying the same  yada, yada, yada... I had to take it slow but the pain was minimal and it didn't get any worse, so I will see how it goes throughout the day and hopefully there will Be no swelling. My average pace was 8:55 heart rate average was 149 with my total time at 1:03:28, it felt really good to be out on the road again even though it had only been a few days it seemed like and eternity...

See you tomorrow.

I ran out to mini GU corner out and back and in the fog which was kind of creepy, visibility was about a quarter of a mile so a little thick... About half way through my run I got a charlie horse in my right calf and it was painful, I could not get it to loosen up, feels like a great big knot.  My toe felt all right still a little sore but not bad at all I had more pain from the darn calf than I did my toe, I wonder if I will ever get pain free! Hopefully my calf will cooperate tomorrow, but I might have to go light, I used the "stick" to see if I could work it out so hopefully it will get better quick... I also did the lower body weight training and core training with 80 push-ups in between the sets of crunches.

Average pace 9:00, total time 54:17

See ya Tomorrow.

This had to be one of the worst mornings running I've had in along time, my legs were dead and there was so much ice out on the roads that it made it almost impossible to keep your footing! I ran towards Payson via Salem canal Road, my calf felt pretty good which was a good sign, but my legs hurt just about every where. From the front of my hips into my quads and so forth it was just a brutal run. My average pace was 9:50 mostly because the ice was pretty treacherous and I was having a hard time with my footing.

I don't know what is up with me lately, I just don't feel like I am getting stronger my legs feel like they are beaten down to nuttin, "and I mean nuttin Noonin"... Well,  enough of my whining and my "Caddy Shack" references!!!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran to GU corner and back this morning, I had to cut my run a little short because my daughter had a basketball game at 8:00 am... I thought about running a couple more after her game but then I thought my run went so good earlier and I feel great so I thought I would just be done for the day. My legs felt a lot better this morning they seemed to be stronger than they were yesterday, I think the strength training on Thursday was a little much so they got wore out... My average pace was 8:19 with my heart rate average at 153, total time was 1:06:50. I had 2 miles that I did at marathon pace and those were; 7:32(156), and 7:36(153) those were miles 3 and 5. I think in the next couple of weeks I will try and pick up the tempo work and see if I can improve my speed as the days start to get a little warmer, that is if it warms up just a tad...

See ya on Monday.
