I warmed up on the elliptical for 10 minutes and then I went 5 minutes on the treadmill and kept alternating back and forth. I did 2.25 miles on the treadmill in 21 minutes and then I ended up doing 50 minutes on the elliptical, total between the two was over 70 minutes. I had to get it in after I got home from work my cold was getting the best of me this morning and I just didn't feel like it, if you know what I mean! I hope to get in another good workout  tomorrow if all goes well, and I think that it will. I also did some upper body weight training to finish up, so I felt like I did a good job with this workout, I kind of changed it up so it broke up the monotony of going inside;-)

See ya tomorrow.

I was able to get out of bed this morning and get my workout done, I still am not feeling real great;-( I did 50 minutes on the elliptical and then I ran on the treadmill for 11:30 and went 1.25 miles in that span, finished up with some core strength training... My hip felt marginal at best, it feels a little improved but I'm still on the mend and have a ways to go. Thats about it, same old same old, see ya tomorrow.

I did my workout in the afternoon today when I returned home from work! I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and then did a mile on the treadmill and then went another 10 minutes on the elliptical, I then went back to the treadmill for another mile and some change and then finished up on the elliptical for another 10 minutes... I then did my P90X arms and shoulders routine and that was about 45 minutes, so a pretty good workout for the most part. I am getting a little tired of the elliptical and working out inside its really starting to get on my nerves, but there's not much I can do until this stupid hip heals up! Oh well,  things could be worse!!!

See ya tomorrow.

I did  my workout at around 8:00pm tonight, my hip is sore and now my right knee is tight I feel like I'm falling apart!!! With that said I took it pretty easy just doing 40 minutes on the elliptical and then I did some core training to finish up, pretty discouraged at this point and I am contemplating taking some time off to see if I can get all this stuff to heal up! I have the spectrum 10K next month, which is my first race in the runners series, so I don't know what to do... Is it asking to much to be healthy so that I reach my goals, I know there are people on this blog that have it alot worse than I do so I don't mean to complain, but I have been fighting injuries since June of last year and I have been limping along ever since! Okay, I'm done complaining I just needed to vent.

See ya later, hopefully tomorrow!

I hit the elliptical this morning for 65 minutes, kept the pace moderate and its good that I did because my legs were totally dead! I then finished up with some upper body weight training and some squats, knee feels a little better today than it did yesterday, hip is about the same but I put some heat on it last night and it seemed to help when I woke up this morning it didn't seem as sore, so maybe that's a good sign;-)

See ya tomorrow.

I'm taking today off. I'm just to battered and bruised and I am not healing up, so at least today I will be taking it easy.

Later.
