Early morning run, I was feeling just well enough to run but just barley;( I ran out towards Mini GU Corner but stopped short and then I headed back to the house, the pace was real easy and I had no energy because of the cold I am fighting. Average pace was 8:55 with the total time at 45:06 for the 5 miles, HR average at 139, I then jumped on the elliptical for 21 minutes at a steady pace. I then headed to the PT for him to tape me running to look at my mechanic's, he had me run some of it bare foot which was a new experiance for me, that was just over a mile... The PT said that my form is much better since I've been doing the strength exercises for my qauds and hip and core. I could see the difference from the before and after look, he wants me to continue with what I'm doing and then see how I do over the next few months... I'm happy with where my running is going and I hope I can continue with no injuries, and the PT was optimistic that I will just continue to get stronger and stronger and I hope he's right.

I'm still feeling this cold, not a lot of energy but I feel like I'm getting better, hopefully;)

 

See ya tomorrow.

No running yet today, when I woke up this morning I had a horrible sore throat and you guessed it I have strep throat!  I don't know if I'll get any running in today or not I'll have to see how the day goes, and how I am feeling. I'm not sure if its a good idea if I run with it or not so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Later.

I'm still not feeling real great but I am improved from yesterday and I might run a few miles after work, but I have a few appointments this afternoon so it might not happen.

Later.

Afternoon workout today, I didn't feel like getting all my outside gear on to run outside so I hit the elliptical and the treadmill. I started with 10 minute warm up on the elliptical and then I alternated between that and the treadmill 10 minutes on and then 10 minutes on the treadmill and then I finished with a cool down on the treadmill. I also ran some pickups on the treadmill 6x 2 minutes with 4 at sub 7:30 pace and 2 at sub 7:15 pace with 3 minutes of recovery between each. Everything felt pretty good I'm still a little weak from the Strep but I felt a lot better than I thought I would. My average pace for the treadmill was 8:40 and total time was 43:25, I didn't wear my HR monitor so I have no information on that. I finished up with my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. Its been a crappy week for training with being sick and all but I hope to finish strong and do a long run tomorrow.

See ya tomorrow.

I didn't get out until after 9 this morning as I was trying to wait for the roads to get cleared just a little bit. I knew the pace would be pretty slow with the roads and the hard late workout from yesterday and the fact that I am still fighting off the strep throat, I felt pretty good considering all those factors. Average pace was 9:00 with my HR average at 148 total time was 1:30 :19 after the run I did my standard lower body weight training, no elliptical today I'm pretty pooped.... Now it's off to South Jordon to see my Daughter Abby dance, you gotta love it baby!

See ya Monday.
