I was excited to get up and run this morning.  I've been walking 100% pain free and doing the eliptical pain free as well so I decided I was ready.  I headed over to a park with a big grass field that I could run around and started to run.  I took it easy, but was suprised at the amound of pain I had right from the start.  It wasn't anything like the sharp tearing pain I had during Boston, but it was much more than I anticipated.  I almost stopped right then, but decided to try and run just a bit more.  I ended up running 2 miles on grass and the pain came down some by the end, but I figured I shouldn't push it any more.  I then headed over to the gym and did 30 min eliptical, pain free.

2 miles  AP 7:24

I guess I'll wait and see how my foot responds for the rest of the day and tomorrow.  It's definitely not healed enough for any hard running.

Lower body weitghts

20 min recumbant cycle

45 min spin class

15 min eliptical

I finally have that feeling I usually get after a good run.  I did my water running this morning a little differently to get there.  I did it without the belt.  To stay afloat you have to run pretty hard.  I could only do it for 1 minute at a time.  So I ran all out for 1 min. then held onto the side and did some easy kicking for a minute and then repeated 15 times for a full 30 min workout.  I got my HR up around 165.  About 140 was my max with the belt and usually I was around 120.  Anyways, it feels good to have that post workout burn feeling again.

Slept in this morning so I missed spin class.

I snuck out of work at lunch and got in a full body weights workout. I did some really like to raises to test out the PF tendon. It felt good. No pain. Maybe I can gradually work that up to stregthen it.

I'm taking my 3 boys camping tonight (fathers and sons campout.) I hate seeping on the ground in a tent, but the boys love it. Wish me luck.
