I tried running outside today, I ran out past the stake center and out to the T in the road. Calf was marginal at best but my abdominal aera was not good, it pretty much hurt every step so that was not good... Calf started to hurt a little towards but nothing to bad, I don't know what the heck I've done to my abdominals, I must have strained it some how. Pace wasn't bad at the start but I was pretty much just jogging at the end so my pace slowed the further I went, that was mostly because of my abdomen. My average pace was 9:10 with a total time of 31:21, after the run I did some light lower body weight training to finish up. I don't really know where I go from here, I will stay running for as long as I can this week and see if it gets better. I should have my Elliptical fixed in a few days so I would like to run some and then cross training on the ellipitical if I can. I know that I can do that for as long as I can stand so maybe run 3 to 4 miles and then 3 miles on the elliptical, maybe. It all depends on if I can continue to run or not, if I can't then I'm just going to stop everything and just get healed up.

See ya tomorrow.
