"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

Well I went out for my first post marathon run this morning and boy was it cold, I had to break out the tights! My hip felt good until I got farther into the run but then I seemed to get some discomfort so I don't really know what that means; Do I need to take some serious time off until it is fully healed or do I cut my mileage way down until it heals up? I don't know what to do! My left foot was still sore in the arch area, this pain I had after the marathon and has never really gone away could be PF but I'm not sure... I'll have to think this all over for awhile and see what is the best course to take, my average pace his morning was just over a 9:00 pace total time was 46:00 or so...

See ya later.

I ran out towards mini GU corner, my legs felt a little better but then towards the end they really got tired...My hip was sore again and by the time I was done my foot was hurting and getting sore also, I iced it for about 10 minutes thats about all I could stand. My average pace was 8:57 with my heart rate average at 144, way to high again, total time was 45:09. I am really wondering if I should take some serious time off and not run again until all my aches and pains are healed up and gone, I just don't have the drive to cross train, and running is the only thing that seems to do it for me mentally, so I am having a hard time deciding on the right course and what to do. I can run with my hip the way that it is but then it doesn't seem to get any better, but then again it doesn't seem to get any worse either and I know the PF on my left foot will eventually heal up, so I don't know what to do! I guess I will take it a day at a time and just see how it goes and if I feel like taking a day off then I will, if anyone has any other advice out there for me then just feel free to comment.

See ay later.

No running today, my foot is extremely sore so I am taking the day off, as far as tomorrow goes I will have to play it by ear... My brother-in-Law wants to give me a shot to get it better but I am not to excited about that so I am holding off! He is a Podiatrist but I hate needle's and I am basically a wimp so I will use that as a last resort, which could be pretty quick considering how things are going;-(

See ya tomrorrow.

I ran out towards pretty little hill but stopped at the top and bottom of Harry's hill, didn't feel like going any farther than that... My foot was sore at the beginning but felt better towards the end, and my hip felt good at the start but then started to get sore towards the end, it was kind of a joke! I didn't get to far either but thats okay at least I got out and my legs felt pretty good considering I'm still recovering from the marathon:-) My brother-in-law is still pushing me to get a shot in my foot but I am still not giving in, I know I know I'm a baby but at least I'm consistent at it, being a wimp that is! My average pace was 8:37 total time was 38:16 , I had one mile that was around an 8:19 pace and it felt pretty easy.

Thats about it I might give in today and let John give me a shot but then again probably not.

No running today. I went and had my Brother-in-law give me a cortisone shot in my left foot yesterday so I took today off and then I plan on running tomorrow. I have to say it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would, so that was a good thing and right now my foot is feeling pretty good. I did get to go and play golf today at Hill Field Air Force Base and it was a good time, the golf wasn't that great but it was a blast watching all the fighter plains take off and land. They were so cool they would fly right over the golf course and do loops and all kinds of fun stuff, it was pretty amazing!

Well thats about it, see ya tomorrow;-D

I ran out towards GU corner but stopped about a half of a mile short and then turned and headed for home. My foot felt okay but it is still sore but not quite as sore as it was before I had the cortisone shot! I ran easy for the most part and my legs felt okay but they seemed to get more tired towards the end, I still must be feeling the effects of the marathon. My hip felt pretty good and I hope I am on the mend there too, but who knows only time will tell on that! I ran into Michelle and she seemed to be doing well we chatted for just a minute and then we both had to get going, I wish her the best in her training.

My average pace was 8:36 and total time was 1:00:32, I didn't have my heart rate monitor on this morning so I have no information on that.

See ya on Monday.
