I ran out towards Payson this morning and the weather was perfect, my leg was feeling pretty good so I extended up the hill into Payson but made sure I kept it easy coming down the hill. Pain level for the leg was 2 to 3 and finished about the same, the last .15 I picked up the pace to a sub 7:30. My average pace was 8:40 with my Total time at 44:35, after the run I jumped on the elliptical and the pace was 90 and above on the rpm. I am so stiff from Saturday and planting all those darn flowers, my inner thighs are so sore from all the squatting down, I guess I was using muscles that I don't use very often:) There will be more planting today!

See ya tomorrow.

I seriously feel like I'm recovering from a marathon! I am so stiff! Just from planting a few hundred flowers, who knew! I ran out towards Mini GU corner but stopped a half mile short, my leg was a a pain from the get go but it seemed to be feeling better by the time I finished. I was real slow today if wasn't the sore and stiffness slowing me down then it was my leg, average pace was 9:10 and my total time was 46:48... After the run I jumped on the good old elliptical for 20 minutes but kept the pace easy between 85 and 90 on the RPM, no pain from the leg while doing this. That's about it for today, I hope that now that I have all the yard worked caught up my stiffness will gradually fade;) It's been brutal!

See ya tomorrow.

The old leg was a real pain this morning, 6 to 7 on the pain level but then by the time I finished it was down to a 2 to 3 and I felt like I could have gone farther but I didn't.  My pace was still slow at 9:14 average,  but the  last half was a little faster so that shows that it gets better as I run further. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes and on the the last half of that I kept the RPM above 90, my leg was a little bit of a bother but it was tolerable. Total time for the run was 37:49. I wish this darn thing would get better, I might have to go for an MRI but I'm trying to hold off and see what happens I don't want to put out the money!

Later.

Well, Things are not looking good! I couldn't even run to the top of the street this morning, the pain was just to much... Decided to give the elliptical a try but that was even a no go, so I go to the doctor on Monday and maybe if I can get an MRI or something I can get to the bottom of this darn thing! Very disappointing, boarder-line depressed actually.... Just judging by the pain I think it could be a stress fracture which would put me out at least 2 months which would mean St. George is out of the question. I'm pretty sure its not compartment syndrome cuz I wouldn't be running at all the last few weeks if it was that... Right now I'm preparing myself for the worst which would mean another year of no running and competing in races, I will be signing off until Monday. Hopefully I'll have some news then.

Later.
