"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

My shin was really sore this morning, I have been messaging and icing three times a day and wearing my compression sleeve when I run, I used it saturday for the Provo Riverwoods half and it worked pretty good. The first mile or so was really painful but then as I got warmed up it was tolerable but that was about it, I was not able to go very fast as I kepted it around a 9:00 mile. My total time was 1:03:26,  I think any tempo runs are out of the question but I will determine whether I do that from day to day and then go from there. I don't know if I should run through this or take some time off, I would really hate to take any time off because of the SGM and I like where my fitness is at and I really don't want to loose it... I do think I will decrease mileage just a little bit to see if it will speed up recovery, but agian I will take that from day to day...

See ya tomorow...

No running today my shin and leg where hurting so bad I had a hard time walking, I am hoping that if I take some time off it will help it heal but I sure don't want to... I am taking today off and then see how it feels in the morning and then go from there, bummer I was so excited about where my fitness was for SGM, this is a tough deal.

No training again today, trying to give my leg some time off and see if it will heal up... This is very, very, very frustrating.... I'm going to give it until monday and see how it feels and then go from there, if it is on the mend then I might give alittle more time to see how it does. This is not fun, did I say this not fun,  I think I did...

PM walked 9 holes of Golf at HobbleCreek Golf course, with my shin support and it felt okay, but was alittle sore afterwards.

I will be doing the elipitcal glider this evening, I have to do something... If It doesn't seem like it is getting better then I might have to lay off completely, but I will see on that. I will up-date later this evening and let you know how it went, I know that yesterday when I was walking it got hot under my support that I was wearing and it almost helped to have it heating up, so I tryed some heat on it last night to see if it would help, along with the Ice... I will see ya later tonight.

PM- I did 64:00 on the eliptilcal glider, the RPM average was above 90 for most of the workout... Not much pain if any on the leg, which was pretty cool, but it has been sore for most of the day so that was surprising that it did so good. I will continue with the elliptical for now and see how my leg does, it really kicked my butt tonight, it felt goooood... I am putting down 7 miles for the workout, I went by my heart monitor which averaged between 135 and 145 and for the time I think it justified the 7 miles.

53:00 minutes on the elliptical, I kept the speed between 85 and 90 just trying to take it easy... My shin felt okay, but there's no way I could run on it,  thank goodness I have the elliptical or I would be going crazy. I wish I could do a long run tomorrow but I guess I will have to just be happy with the ellipitical, its awfully boring on that darn thing, but I am trying to endure to the end so to speak! I am going with 6 miles today because I feel that is the time I put in even if I had run for this amount of time, or something like that...

64:00 minutes on the elliptical this morning, shin felt pretty good, a little sore right when I got out of bed but then once I got going it felt pretty good... I am pretty tired of this working inside crap it is really boring, I put down 6 miles for the effort I had the RPM averaging above 100 for most of the workout so I was a sweatin machine... I am hoping this leg heals up quickly atleast that is my prayer, morning,  noon and night... See ya Monday.
