Following work, I had a date with the treadmill (hopefully, we can become reunited after I have been spending so much time with the elliptical lately).  I was able to run for 2.4 miles.  Once again, for the opening mile my troublesome hamstring was sore and stiff. However, my stride seemed to open up a little bit and I was able to get into a pretty good rhythm with minimal discomfort.  I felt like running further on the treadmill, but decided to cut it off a little bit early in order to get in an outside run.  Consequently, after I got home, I jogged over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed two laps of the softball complex before calling it a day.  The total distance of this evening run was 1.7 miles.

In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to complete 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 40 (50 lbs) curls.

nice date with the treadmill. i just hope the elliptical doesn't get jealous...

thanks for the advice about the 5K. i would really like to get a good time trial in before the race, so i think i'll run it.

Well, you got some running in, and that is a good sign!

There's one perfect fit, and sugar this one is it. We both are so excited because we're reunited. Hey. Hey.

LOL and great reference Burt! Yeah, I'm trying hard to ditch the elliptical and get back to actual running so I can complete my half marathon race next Saturday. Needless to say, I will not be running for time on this one (which will be kind of weird), but it will feel great to run--no matter how slow--13.1 miles. Run on!
