No running again today, I just did 30 minutes of upper body weight training. I am still in the boot until Wednesday or Thursday and then I will have a week after that to get it off and then test drive my leg and see where I am at... The soft cast is off and now I am just in an ace bandage, it feels pretty good but if I was to run on it  I don't know how it would feel, I am just hoping and praying for the best. I am giving myself until the 15th of September to decide whether or not I will be running SGM or not, I have to notify the hotel by this date to get my full refund on the rooms, so that is D-Day so to speak. Tomorrow I plan on doing my upper core training, I know this sounds boring on the strength training but it is the only thing that is keeping me from going crazy!!

See ya tomorrow...

Upper core training this morning on the big rubber ball, 450 crunches and then alternate with push-ups between those, total sit-ups 80... My leg feels alittle better but I can still feel the injury at certain times so I know it is not 100%, maybe more like 65%, so a long way to go. I am hoping that with in the next week I will see a noticable improvement so that maybe I can start running again, atleast in a limited compacity. But we shall see.

Still no running yet, but my leg seems to be getting better I had no pain at all yesterday and it seems it could be the same for today. As I got out of bed this morning there was no pain so that is a good sign, but the earliest I would actually try to run would be Monday and that is if I stay pain free until then, I am still in the boot and nothing else... I did 30 minutes of upper body core training, with 300 crunches on the rubber ball and then alternating sets with as many push-ups as I can do between those. I will do some upper body weight training tomorrow on the Bowflex, to round out the week,  if I stay pain free through Saturday it will be real hard not to throw on the shoes and give my leg a test run, but I will try to control myself.

See ya tomorrow!

Still no running today, but I am out of the boot which is good... I did do about 5 minutes on the elliptical gilder just to test my leg out and there was no pain, but then I went out on the grass and ran around on it and there was still some discomfort, it wasn't as bad as it has been but I am still concerned. I will probably give  it until next Tuesday  or Wednesday to see if it improves, I mean the pain that I was feeling today was nothing like it has been and I think that I could train on it but I want to be very careful at this point and make sure it will hold up...

I also did 30 minutes of upper body weight training and stretching, I felt pretty good about that.
