I got home from work today and decided to head out and try a few miles. My leg felt okay but now it is starting get sore, groin area again. I think I will ice and then hook myself up to the E-Stem machine to see how it recovers for tomorrow and then I will give it another try. It felt good to be out even though it was slow and easy, my average pace was 9:16 and my heart rate was152, WOW! Usually it's around 135 at that pace, pretty sad. But one good thing is it didn't feel that hard, I mean I was kind of surprised at my heart rate because I didn't feel like I was breathing very heavy, so I don't know what to make of that. My total time was 37:27. So I will ice and then shock it and see how it goes if doesnt work out then I will be alright, life will go on:-)

See ya tomorrow.

Well I ran again this morning, my leg and hip were really sore. I was able to complete the run, not very fast, but I am really sore right now and I don't know if I will be able to run tomorrow. I will use the E-stem machine when I get home from work later today and see if that helps:-) I am just so tired of being in pain, I might have to brake down and go and see an Orthopedic to see if its bone related, although I don't think it is. I don't have any numbers for you because I'm at work and my watch is at my house...

See you tomorrow.

No running today my leg is extremely sore also around the hip again, I will try and do the elliptical later tonight and maybe some strength training... I will update if this happens.

See ya later.

PM-I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and then did 45 minutes of upper body and lower body weight training, along with some stretching...

I did 43 minutes on the elliptical, and then did some core training on the rubber ball along with some push-ups. Heart rate during the elliptical was around 135 to 140... I was able to see how everyone did at the speedy spaniard 10K today and it seems everyone did really well. Not much else to say except tomorrows another day, see ya then.
