Day at sea on the ship. In the morning did what would be the usual routine throughout the week. 60 minutes XT (bike, stairs, elliptical) with some walking around the track on Deck 11.

60 minutes XT at the ship gym plus lots of walking.

Had fun at Lover's Beach and doing some Snorkeling in cabo San lucas.

Got daring and added some 10-20 second jogging-with-Kim segments into the walk around the deck 11 track routine. Feet felt great and no problems so decided to experiment through the week and add a bit more running each day up to 2 or 3 miles max. Also 60 min XT in the gym.

Today's excitement was the Zip-line in maZatlan way out in the boonies by this sleepy little Mexican town (pop. 150) that looked like it came right out of an old Mexican Western movie.

Ran a full mile with Kim around the deck 11 track! No problems whatsoever with the feet, although a few other muscles complained that haven't been used for 8 weeks. The XT is nice but it sure ain't running.  Also picked up another .5 miles here and there during the walk. Hit the gym for 50-min XT.

Went Parisailing in Puerta vallarta. Very fun stuff!

Day at sea. XT 50 minutes and 2 full miles running with Kim and the feet feeling just dandy! Another .5 here and there mixed with walking. Numerious aches and pains in the lower hamstrings toward the side. I remember last time I was injured being sore in this same area when I first started back running and it went away after a few days.

Ran a nice little 5K with Kim on the ship track. This was our last full day of the cruise. Also did around 50 min XT and walking. I will hold at no more than 3 miles running/day for the next week. I'm really happy with the feet and NO PF pains!

The bummer of the day was Kim getting slammed with some kind of flu that has blossomed into pneumonia. She was so diligent with the running on the ship and logged 180 laps around the .2 mile track on deck 11. That ends up being 37 miles. Sure hope she recovers quickly and is able to feel well again and do her 1st WBR.
