Went and tried out my leg this morning just to see how things feel, I was surprised see that for the most part it felt pretty good... I kept the pace nice and easy and it felt like it is healing up pretty good. The true test will be how it does through out the day and then how it feels in the morning, if I am able to run then I will continue to keep it easy through spectrum 10K and then If I'm pain free after that then I will start training for the Hurricane Half which is in May... It is comforting to know I will be able to complete Spectrum 10K even though it will be at a slow pace.

My average pace was 9:19 but the first mile was quicker than that so I had to slow down, total time was 37:44 with my HR at 148 average, a little high I know.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards mini GU corner but stopped about a mile short, my hip felt about the same as yesterday, not to bad, so that was a good sign, its still a little tender though. I have a knot in my right hamstring that is a little bothersome, but I was able to get through the run. I'm not breaking any speed records here just trying to get my legs back under me. Average pace was 9:17 with my HR at 147, total time was 38:34...

See ya tomorrow.

My legs are so screwed up! Now I have the same injury back in both legs, what is going on here! I am so freaking ticked off, I'm about ready to kick a cat! At this point I don't know what to do, I might stop running all together... I had to run walk on the way back because they were hurting to much, very disappointing day so far! I'll stop here for now and hit the showers.

See ya tomorrow.

My legs felt a little better this morning for some odd reason, I don't know if it was the strength training that I did on my lower body yesterday or what, but they were tolerable thats for sure! I ran real easy and headed out towards the base of pretty little hill and Harry's hill and then turned and came the same way back, average pace was 9:11 with my HR at 145, total time was 41:48... I finished up with some core training and some push-ups, I hope I feel  this good tomorrow, I mean don't get me wrong I still have some aches and pains but if they don't get any worse than this then I won't complain;-)

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Pretty little Hill and Harry's, just out to the base and then I took a little break and then headed back for home, same route as Thursday... My hip felt marginal, but not to bad, my pace was slow and easy, average was 9:10 and total time was 41:29. I feel like my hip is getting better but it seems to always be there in some capacity, but I'm hanging in there. My calfs are a little sore this morning, I guess that means I'm working them pretty good!

See ya tomorrow.
