I decided to try it again today and felt great.  No pain, no discomfort.  The last few days I have been walking and doing lunges and hopefully strengthening my legs a bit more.  I am hoping, very much, that that was the problem with me getting injured every month. 

Last time I ran my leg felt ok while running, but 4 hours later it was hurting.  Today, it has been 6 already and I still feel great.  Hopefully I will be good.  I think I will continue with the lunges and walking every other day.  Maybe this time I can stay un-injured!!!!  Wouldn't that be great!!!!!

3 miles of running with 200 lunges.  It was way to windy yesterday to go outside and do anything, so mixed it up today.  Felt good.  It was absolutely freezing and I ran in shorts, otherwise I probably would have gone 4. 

Happy to be out there!!!

Up early and ran with the papa.  It is always fun to run with someone else.  Again, uneventful.  Imagine that.  Same 4 as usual, my gut wasn't quite right and I didnt want to go to far from home in case I needed a bathroom.

Happy to be running again.  Leg feels good.

It is cold in the desert today!!!  Up to run at 6:30 and wore pants for the first time.  Same 4 as usual.  Not much variation.  Hopefully if I can brave the cold I will get a longer run in this week.  I am starting to feel stronger and no pain in the leg.  Lunges could be helping.

2 miles of walking with 200 lunges.  I wanted to run today but kept with the schedule of lunges and walking mixed with the running.  It was to snowy and icy yesterday morning to go out. 

Like I have said before, hopefully it will make me stronger and keep me injury free!!!!

Up early to run with my dad.  We went out to the LaVerkin stake center.  There were a few patches of ice, but nothing to bad. 

It feels good to run with my dad, he pushes me a bit.

Yeah!!  I haven't ran over 4ish since November 1st or something.  I felt good most of the way, except for a slight side ache that had me walking for a few steps.  After that I just controlled my breathing a bit better and kept on. 

Good run and good weather and I was back home in under an hour.  (Not bad for me).

Happy to be out there and there is no better way to start the day, or week, then with a run.

2 miles of walking with lunges.  It was chilly today, but I survived.  That is one good thing about lunges, you warm up quickly.

The same 7 as last time.  After sleeping half the day yesterday, I figured I could use a better run than just 3 miles.  Not that 7 is a whole heck of alot more.  Took it slow, again after a very lazy day, that is all I had in me.  Feeling good and stronger.

3 miles of walking with 200 lunges.  I thought about increasing the lunges today, but did not.  It was freezing out there, but felt good getting out and doing something.

Same 4 again.  I set my alarm to go early today but slept in anyway.  Thank goodness becuase it was still pretty cold when I went at 9.

Glad to be able to get up and go though.  I always feel better after a run, even the short ones I do.

2 miles of walking today with 200 lunges. 

Then about a 12 mile hike in Zion with my dad and friend.  The hiking zion map said 16, but we all believed it was shorter.  We did some boulder hopping and crossed a river a few times.  It was a great day and the weather was beautiful.
