Glad to say that I'm finally healthy enough to begin running again. Was able to take the last couple of months to rest and build strength in my legs. Was feeling sick this week, but couldn't wait to get back out there. Went for an easy 3 today and will continue for the next week.
Roads were pretty slick. Had to be careful on the downhills so I didn't slip and fall. Was still able to get in a decent pace.

| 🎉 Happy National Spaghetti Day 🎉
10:52 am: 3.01 miles
Was definetly feeling tired today. I don't think I've completely kicked my illness. Will have to keep running through it. Legs were really tired as well, but we got through. Trusting the process right now
12:35 pm: 3.15 mile hike
Hiked around Lehi to keep my legs moving
In honor of National Spaghetti Day I made sure to make a big pot and eat as much as I could. Definitely bunt the first batch of garlic bread though.

Still feeling pretty sick. Woke up this moring exhausted and stayed in bed for most of the day resting. Finally got up and got outside to grind out 3.1 miles. Felt pretty nauseous after the run though. Hopefully I can get to bed early tonight and sleep this off.

First day of spring semester for me. Woke up early to get my run in before class started. I don't feel sick anymore which is great so I felt like I was able to open up abit on the run. Averaged a 7:50 mile.

Had a busy day at work, but I managed to get my run in at the gym on the treadmills. Ran for 30 min at a comfortable pace and then finished out the last mile to 4. Averaged a 8:00 mile.

This morning was super cold. I really wanted to quit during the first 2 miles, but after that I was able to warm up and continue to run. Ran another 30 min while finishing out the last mile. Averaged 7:58 pace. I ran the first 7 min at 8:30 pace, the next 15 min at 7:30 pace, and then finished out at 8:30 pace.

Death by treadmill. Anything over 6 miles should not be run on a treadmill, unfortunately today I ran 8.5 miles. The goal was to run it without dropping below 8:00 pace.
During the first 4 miles I was able to stay on pace comfortably however once I hit mile 4 I had to drop it to 8:34 pace. Ran that for the next 3.5 miles and finished my last mile at 7:30 pace so that I finished fast. Overall averaged an 8:14 pace. Didn't hit my goal, but I'm more happy that I got the miles in. I can worry about times once I build up my base and get stronger.
Legs felt pretty good. My left calf was pretty tight from this weeks running, but eventually I didn't feel it as I continued to run. Towards the end I could feel that my shins were putting in the work, but nothing concerning on that front.
Next week I expect to run 45 min each day while finishing out the last mile so that I can continue progressing. Lots of stretching/massaging to come tomorrow.

Ran for 45 min today and then finished out the last mile to reach 6 miles today. Averaged a 7:41 mile. Felt great throughout the run, however my left calf was still tight. Other than that I was feeling great. It was pretty warm when I started and was able to finish as it started to snow, so I had some great running weather. Did 100 calf rasies in the shower to help avoid shin splints.

| 7:00 pm: 4 miles + elliptical
Hopped on the treadmill at UVU after class and started to run. Kept the pace low because my calf was still hurting a bit. After a couple of miles I noticed my shin was beginning to hurt as well so I called it after 4 miles and hopped on an elliptical for 20 min (2.61 miles) to lessen the load on my shin. Averaged an 8:55 mile on the treadmill. Didn't have a ton of time because I had a paper due. Lots of rolling and stretching when I got home. Hopefully tomorrow it will feel a bit better.
What's a better substitute for running when injured or trying to avoid an injury by taking off some load like I wanted to today: an elliptical or a stationary bike?

| 2:00 pm: 60 min spin cycle + 20 min elliptical
Decided to take the load off my legs today and do a mixture of cycle and elliptical. Was on the spin cycle for 60 min (16.7 miles) and then finished off with 20 min on the elliptical (3.44 miles). Wasn't really sure how to convert that all into running so I just logged 4 miles. On the bike I stayed above 100 rpm on a decently good setting so that there was still a burn throughout the entire workout, making the walk over to the elliptical more of a waddle. Used the elliptical to cool down and break up the lactic acid in my thighs.
Afterwards in the shower I did another 100 calf raises. Gotta keep those shins happy

| 4:08 pm: 4 miles + 30 min spin cycle
Gave myself a light impact day. Started off with 4 miles very easy on the treadmill and then finished out with a 30 min ride. Averaged a 8:44 mile. My shin and calf felt way better today, just a couple of aches here and there, but I'm glad I'm taking some impact off. On the bike I didn't go under 100 rpm on a decent resistance and rode for 9.1 miles. Not a bad workout today.

| 7:54 pm: 4 miles + 30 spin cycle
Decided to do another low impact day. Shins felt great on the treadmill. Averaged a 8:02 mile and set the incline to 1.5% the entire time. No serious pains, only small aches. After the treadmill I rode the cycle for 30 min, biking 7.4 miles. Legs were a lot more tired today and I really felt that in the bike today. The last 10 min of the bike was mentally tough. 100 calf raises in the shower again and lost of stretching and rolling.
