Well...still pretty sore. I can walk down stairs without any assistance but I'm still a few days away from running. I am going to try an elliptical in the morning. Not sure I'm coordinated enough to do it without hurting myself or my pride.

Just drinking lots of water and eating right. My coach reminded me that because my body is repairing itself, it's retaining a lot of water which is why I'm weighing a few pounds extra.

Going in for a massage in the morning.

Well, I got a fantastic massage today from my PT after spending a good 20 minutes on the eliptical. Man that thing makes me look and feel uncoordinated. I'm feeling pretty good now. I may try a four mile jog tomorrow. If not tomorrow, I should be ready on Friday. Going down stairs is becoming much easier.

Well...I ventured out this morning for a very light run. 2 miles to the PT's office, 10 minutes on the elliptical and then two more miles back. I'm definitely not 100% but it was great to get some time on my feet. I have another massage coming this afternoon and then hopefully 4-6 miles tomorrow morning before one more massage tomorrow morning

Each day gets a bit easier. Drove down to the flatlands this morning to run 6 miles at about 7:20 pace. Still quite a bit slower than the normal easy run but much faster than yesterday. Speed isn't super important but it is an indicator of recovery. Quads are about 90 percent, calves are about 80 percebnt. I'm not feeling much in the way of pain just a fair amount of tightness still in the calves. I had a massage yesterday after work and iced after my run this morning.

Planning on 8-10 easy miles tomorrow and then taking Sunday off before hitting the normal routine next week.

10 miles this morning at 7:00 pace except for the last one when I pushed it a bit. Still some tightness but no pain. I'm probably 90%. I have no idea how Logan has been able to log as many miles this week as he has. Great job.

Resting tomorrow and then shooting for 60-70 miles next week with maybe a speed workout Friday or Saturday.
