"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

Rest... I might hop on the elliptical when I get home from work later this afternoon, but that depends on how my leg and hip are feeling. I am on IR as far as golf is concerned, I need to get this darn thing healed up and I think golfing is just adding to the problem. It will be hard but I can do it... I can run up the stairs now with no pain so that is a good sign, I think I am on the mend but not good enough to run. See ya later tonight.

I woke up way early this morning(4:30am) to cook my Daughter Abby some breakfast as she was heading out on the Trek with our ward, she looked so cool in all of her clothes! I am so proud of her for her commitment to go and see what the Pioneers went through and experience some of the hard work they went through and the hard ships! Although she will have it pretty comfortable, but I am hoping for a good experience for her:-) After I dropped her off I came home and it was about 6:00am and I sat and looked out our big window in the front of our house and watched all the runners striding by and really longed to be out there... This has been a tough couple of months to say the least, and I am hoping on Saturday to give my hip and leg another try and see where I am at, so come Saturday morning I am hoping for good things to happen to be back out on the road permanently!

See you then!

Well to was a good day, I was able to get back out on the road! It felt really good just the road and some good tunes, I don't know how I will feel tomorrow but we shall see! I really didn't have much pain and the leg and the hip were about the same throughout the whole run, so that is a good sign. I am hoping to run all of August and then evaluate where I am at and go from there, I don't think SG is an option but I'm not totally ruling it out just yet... Who knows I might wake up tomorrow and not be able to run so I will have to take this a day at a time. I did the old Blue Mail box route, average pace was 9:27 with my heart rate at 146, a little high but I'm sure this will come down quickly as I continue to train, total time was 48:29. Wish me luck for tomorrow.

I just notice I put this on the wrong day, its actually Friday sorry I'm getting old and stupid! 

I wasn't able to blog after my run this morning so I'm doing it now... I played Golf this morning so I was kind of in a hurry, shot 74. As I started running this morning I was really concerned about my hip and leg but after about 5 or 10 minutes it seemed to loosen up so that was a good sign. Kept the pace easy for the most part and ran on the flats so to speak, no hills, my legs are pretty tired but I think that is a combination of this mornings run and walking 18 holes of golf! My average pace was 9:28 with my heart rate at 145,total time was 47:39. I am hoping my heart rate will come down as I continue to run, usually at that pace its in the lower 130's. Ran into Pat and Kent and also so Tom, was able to stop and talk to my brother as well, it was good to see him out in the morning so he doesn't have to fight the heat!

Well that's about it, I'll see you on Monday with hopefully no injuries!
