I was feeling pretty good so I went out this afternoon and ran some miles. I had some pain in my left upper leg but my injury on the other side seems to have healed up. I ran real easy and just tried to feel things out to see how I'm doing, after returning home I hopped on the elliptical for 20 minutes and then did some stretching. The pain in my left leg was pretty sore but now that is the next day(Wednesday) the pain seems to have subsided so that is a good sign. I might try and run again today when I get home from work and give it another try and see how it does. If it continues to bother me then I will probably take some more time off before I get going again, but regardless  I plan on starting my strength training next week so I at least I feel like I'm doing something and not being a lazy butt;-)

See ya later.

I woke up at 7:30 and decided to get my butt out the door for a change. I ran 3.4 really easy miles (33:00) and then came home and jumped on the elliptical and did 30 Minutes on that and then did some stretching... My legs were lazy and achy during the run but then on the elliptical they felt a little better and then I decided to go through some of the leg strength training exercises that I will be starting on Monday, I just wanted to get a feel for what I want to do so I don't waste any time. I feel pretty good about the ones that I have picked and I am hoping they will help me get stronger in my legs, as far as running is concerned I will keep it light, like around 3 to 4 miles a day at a really slow pace and on days where I don't feel like running I will only do the elliptical, this is my plan through most of the winter. It felt good to actually do something today, it has been a long 3 weeks of laziness!

See ya on Monday.
