I did the elliptical for 53 minutes with resistance up to 5 and I kept the pace pretty up beat all above 90 effort, I'm out of time so I got a go.

55 minutes on the elliptical after work, RPM was a 90 plus effort with resistance up to 5. After the elliptical I did some light strength training on my legs and then some push-ups, all in all it felt like a good workout but who knows. My PT says he can't feel the knot in my calf so that is a good sign and I have no pain there but he wants me to stay with the elliptical for now. I'm itchen to run!

See ya tomorrow.

I decided to give the old leg a try out on the road so I headed out towards Payson to start and it seemed to do really well, my pace was a little slow but at this point I was just happy to be out running... As I got closer to the house I was feeling pretty good so I headed out to the stake center, I ran into Michelle on this little leg and I ran with her just long enough to know that I shouldn't be running with her, I am way out of shape Michelle, sorry. But she is running strong and I wish her well! Maybe in a couple of months if I get consistent and she's on a recovery run I could give her a run for her money... Nah, she would still kick my butt! My average pace was 8:33 with my total time at 44:15.  I hope to run tomorrow after Ethan's 5K in the morning, I think he's ready to break 20 minutes. He has been running pretty dang strong.

 

See ya tomorrow.

Tried a run out towards Mini GU corner and the leg was a real Bother!!! Totally different than yesterday and it is really getting me down...  Oh well, at least I got in 5 miles. My average pace was 8:42 with a total time of 44:29. Earlier this morning My son Ethan ran a 5K and ran it in 20:15, he wasn't even pushing very hard! I can't get him to go all out and I can't figure him out, I know he can do it under 19 minutes but he won't let himself go and go for it!!! Very frustrating! I am proud of him though he is really dedicated about running and has some real talent.

 

See ya Monday.
