I will probably start doing some running this week, mainly because when I go to the surgeon I want to be sure that the pain I've been having is actually from a hernia. I don't have a lot of trust in doctors, if you know what I mean:)

Later.

PM- I ran out to Mini GU corner and I felt pretty darn good, calf seems to be healed up and my hernia now seems slightly better but it is way tender and sore so I will probably still have it fixed in a few weeks. I'll see what the doctor says next week and then go from there. My pace was okay but I felt like I had really good form for a change and I felt like a runner again, I don't know how I will feel tomorrow but I will deal with that when it gets here. Average pace 8:55 with my last 2 miles in the 8:30 range, I finished up with some light upper body weight training and then some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the payaon park loop today but cut out the rollers, I didn't feel as good this morning really tender and after about 4 miles my legs really got tired.  But it was a good tired. My pace was slower today at 9:24 with a total time of 58:31, pace wise it sucked but I am just glad to be running. I might take tomorrow off, it will depend how my hernia is feeling, its really sore and tender today.

See ya tomorrow.

Am-Nothing this morning but hopefully something after work. Hernia really sore this morning, so I'll probably do the elliptical or maybe the treadmill, depends on how I feel.

PM- I started out with 30 minutes on the elliptical and I ran 3.10 miles in that 30 minutes, I then stretched for a minute and then I jumped on the treadmill for 30 minutes and I was able to run 3.35 miles, I did some pick-ups at the end of each mile for .25. they weren't very fast though,  but they were faster than I have been going the last little bit so that is progress! It was a good way to end the day and I was able to stay out of the rain outside so it was a win, win!

See ya tomorrow.

Ran the mini GU route, felt okay going out and then better on the way back. Pace was slow and my legs seemed really tired at times, hernia was tolerable though. Average pace was slow at 9:14 with a total time of 55:10, beautiful day out just the right temps! I hope it really cools down for the marathon next week, I want the boys in girls to have a good race, evening though I can't run it.

 

See ya tomorrow.

Today's plan was to go liter so I've been running 6's so I decided run half of that so I did. I ran out past the old barn towards Payson in the nice overcast and rain. My legs were really tired so I just went with it and took it nice and easy. My average pace was 9:30 with a total time of 31:15, I know it's about a minute off my normal training pace but I'm happy to just be out. I know when I get my hernia done I'll be out a while, at least a month, so I need to try and do what I can until then. It's been a good week.

See ya tomorrow.

Nothing today.... I'm a little bummed about it but not to bad. Hernia was pretty sore and I had a soccer game with Ethan in South Jordan this morning so it's all good.

See ya Monday.
