I tried to run a mile with my wife but I couldn't get my leg to cooperate so I had to turn around and walk home, Cindie was able to finish the mile without stopping so I was extremely proud of her! I then went in and did 30 minutes on the elliptical, rpm was above 95 for the whole workout I then did a 3 minute cool down and some stretching to finish up. I plan on doing the same workout tomorrow and then some strength training on my legs to go along with it, I counted 3 miles of cross training for the 33 minutes the boredom about killed but at least I was able to do something! I'm still planning on doing SG and I figure I can go about 2 more weeks and still have enough time to get ready but after that it will be closing time, so to speak.
So with that said, I will have to learn to love the elliptical for a few weeks and then see how things are going, and If I can't do SG then there is always next year. I can always do Moab in the spring or go for another half in the spring, I have figured out that life will be just fine if I can't do SG...
See ya tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

43:00 minutes on the elliptical today with some interval training, trying to simulate running up hills, 3x two minutes with a 3 minute recovery in between each one I mostly kept the RPM above 95 and as high as 123... I also did my standard weight training on the lower body trying to strengthen the injured area, it felt really good through the whole workout I also did 50 push-ups and some stretching. When I was sprinting and the rpm was at 120 I felt like I could of done that for awhile which tells me I haven't lost much fitness, so If I can get this darn thing healed up I can probably still do SG but time will tell in the next couple of weeks!
See ya tomorrow!
PM- I ran a mile with my wife Cindie, she beat me again! I had to walk towards the end, oh well even though I sucked it reminded me why we do this! | | Add Comment |

55 minutes on the elliptical keeping my heart rate above 155 for some of the workout! I think the average was around 135, I then threw in some stretching after that. My leg was a little stiff when I started but by the end it felt fine. When my heart rate is around 135 it is right around a 9 minute mile but from 145 to 155 it is more like and 8 in a half minute mile and most of the workout was in that range. The rpm never got below 90 and I had it as high as 120 my average for that was around 100 so I was clipping along at a pretty good pace! I was sure sweating by the time I was finished... Of the 55 minutes 5 minutes of that was a cool down, which felt pretty good.
I was able to watch some of the old TV series Starsky and Hutch, I found a station on my satellite that shows nothing but old stuff so it was pretty cool...
That's about it, see ya tomorrow! | | Comments(2) |

50 minutes on the old elliptical, 40 minutes real hard and then a 10 minute cool down followed by some strength training on my legs, and then I finished up with some stretching. My average heart rate was 131 with it getting as high as 155, my legs felt a little tired today but that's good that means it is having some effect on me! Man I wish I could get healthy! I really want to do SG! My brother-in-law is coming into town today so why he is here we are going to try some E-stem on the injured area and maybe a massage to help it along, but I have pretty much lost all faith in it healing anytime soon but I also know that life will go on and I will get better, yada, yada, yada...
See ya tomorrow. | | Comments(5) |
