"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I decided to start with the elliptical and test my calf and see if things are improving, I had no pain which is a good sign but then again I really never had any pain while on the elliptical, so who knows... I did 40 minutes with no resistance and I kept the RPM at 90, so just nice and steady, nothing to hard. After the elliptical I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. This has been a tough 2 weeks of in-activity but I have played a few rounds of golf and last Friday I was able to shoot a pretty good round of 68, which is my only sub-par round of the year most everything else has been in the high 70's, kind of frustrating! But my whole life is pretty frustrating right now so it seems to fit me!!!  My plan is to try the elliptical this week and then if the pain stay's away then I will continue the elliptical until the first of next month and then start running, hopefully! I have to see if it is getting better, if I even want to take a try at St. George, so that is the plan and I am optimistic about getting there but I know that could change so I will have to just deal with it and if I can't get ready in time and then that's just life!

See ya tomorrow.

41 minutes on the good old elliptical with the RPM around 90 and then I did some reverse motion which works the quads a little more. No Pain in the calf but after I'm done I can feel it a little bit but nothing to bad, so I might not do the elliptical anymore this week but I will take it day by day and then decide if I should or not... It does feel good to be at least doing something! Its been a tough couple of months.

See ya tomorrow.

Nothing today. When I was done with the elliptical yesterday I developed some Planters Facitis on my foot so that is pretty painful, I iced really well but it is still bothering me so no crosstraining today. I can't win for losing! I truley am at the end of my rope!

Later! Maybe!

PM- Decided to hop on the elliptical and give it a try, I went 40 minutes and the pace was upbeat, 90 on the rpm and above... No pain so far but I will ice just to be safe. After the elliptical I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, it was a good workout. This afternoon I played some more golf, I'm trying to get ready for a big 3 day tournament this weekend, and I was 4 under through 11 holes and then I took a triple on hole 12 and ended up shooting 1 under par 70, not to bad. I shot 74 yesterday but played much better than that so hopefully I won't do to bad this weekend, its always harder when the gun goes off, its the nerve thing!

See ya tomorrow.

60 minutes on the elliptical with no pain in the calf or the Planters, things are feeling pretty good and I might try some running next week if things stay the way they are.But don't quote me on the that.

See ya tomorrow.
