What ever it takes!

10 Elliptical miles in 1:15:30. 

Wanted to go on a bike ride today,  but the weather is making that difficult.  Not that I can't ride in the rain, just don't want to.

2400 meter swim in 55 minutes.  I tried so new breathing techniques today that I could tell made me much faster, I kept getting to the wall faster than I expected and missing my flip turns.  

Changed and hit the weights for 30 minutes and now I'm off to New York.

I feel like I'm getting dangerously close to being able to run again.  I say dangerously because I'm afraid I'm going to get overly excited and go out to early and end up getting hurt again.  I can walk without a limp, I think I mostly limp out of habit now and I can hop on my bad leg which is the scientific test my doctor put me through.  We'll see how it goes but I may not be able to restrain from a nice easy run in Central Park tomorrow morning.

Well I never was good at following directions,  couldn't help running in Central Park this morning.  My work friend is in town working at a different hotel so I made him wake up early and meet me for a run.  He is about a 10:00min/mile guy so I figured that would be perfect to run with him and keep me under control.   Hip felt really good most of the way, I tried to toe strike most of the run that seems to help and for the most part didn't really have any pain at all,  I could tell that on the downhills or if I tried to speed up a little things weren't totally back to normal but hey its a start.  Ran out around the resevoir and back for a total of 6, that was a bit far for poor Jeff but he'll live.

Got back to the hotel and decided to go to the gym for a bit more, 30 minutes on the elliptical.  While I was on the elliptical I kept thinking the guy next to me looked awfully familiar. After going back and forth between Fox news and looking at him I realized it was Mitt Romney.  I wanted to go talk to him but he seemed pretty deep in thought.  I day dream about running a really fast marathon when I work out, he dreams about running the nation.  Pretty close.  I thought that was strange but then realized I am in the New York Marriott Marquis, I'd imagine Marriott pays for all of Romneys hotel rooms.

Just to make sure I came back to my room (I have access to the hotel rooms list) and checked, sure enough, Willard M Romney is checked into the hotel under his very own name.

P.M.

Since I have to wake up at 2:45 am Utah time tomorrow morning to catch my flight home I decided to get my morning workout done tonight.

30 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes of weights

Travel day from New York so no workout, I disabled my blog from pubic view today.  Going rouge for a while.

9 Elliptical miles in 1:13:09.  Went to the gym late due to staying up late watching a dumb chick flick with my wife.

9 Elliptical miles in 1:15:14 Avg HR 126.  Must not have been working hard.  Did 15 minutes of weights and then came home to get Britt to the Dirty Dash.  She was in the 9:20 heat and did awsome.  38:18.
