Stroller pushin in Texas

20 minutes on eliptical to warm-up.

5 miles around track.  I can still feel a little pain.

I went back to the gym.  1 hour on the weights and 2 miles around the track.  I think that I need to stop pushing my leg so much...

Spinning class 1 hour.  I don't I've ever sweat so much in my life!

1 mile on the track, absolutely could not do more.

Woke up with pain shooting in my left leg.  This thing is more than I thought, I am going to FORCE myself to not run.

Went to the gym, 1 hour spinning class, .35 mile swim.  The swim made my leg feel better. 

I am really frustrated with this injury in my left hip flexor.  Thank heavens I don't have any races planned in the near future. 

30 minutes of upper body strengthening.

I slept in. 

Yesterday I was invited to speak to the Uintah High School track team about my Boston experience.  The team is heading to region, so they wanted an inspirational story.  I told my "running" story and they were all so excited about it.  After I talked to them I had several kids tell me they wanted to do a marathon someday, and some already had!  The energy from these young runners was exquisite!  Sometimes it's exciting to meet young, fresh runners that are so dang excited about the sport. 

I'm beginning to wonder if I have a stress fracture.  I have not ran since Monday and the subtle pain in my upper left thigh is not subsiding.  I have started taking recovery supplements and I will give running another try on Monday.  If the pain is still there I will be going to the Doctor.  Lame.  My biggest frustration is that it is beautiful outside and I am stuck inside the gym Xtraining. 

Today I did 55 minutes spinning and 15 minutes on the eliptical.  I am getting my heart rate to about 165-170, but I fee like I am loosing my fitness level as well. 

If I can't run, so be it!!!  I still want to push my limits (without pain).  

1 hour spin class.  

40 minutes on elliptical trainer.

.50 miles in the pool in 30 minutes. 

My workout was pain free!  Pain is only there when I force pressure on my leg.
