I had planned on just doing 4 miles but after getting my daughter off to the bus I decided to go one more mile in. My leg felt alright but not 100%, I kepted the pace nice and easy except for the second mile, asI went a little faster on that one... Well I wouldn't say fast but faster than I have been going, total time was 46:10 with an average pace of 8:56 and my heart rate average was 145 which is still high. I wouild like to see that below 135 at the pace I was going, so I am hoping that it will come down as I get consistant. Not much else to say other than I hope like crazy that my leg will get back to 100% soon, I don't plan on increasing my mileage until it is back 100%..

I did what I like to call a Lybi 5K this morning, and some change... Leg was sore when I started, which is a little scary, I am hoping I haven't re-injured the darn thing, I will see how recovery goes through out the day and into the morning to see if I can run tomorrow. I don't know what to think! It feels a little better after I did some strength training on it after my run, which was the standard lower body weight training for about 20 minutes, and then I also did about 15 minutes of core training... Total time was 31:13 with an average pace of 9:09 and the darn heart rate average is still a bit high at143, but I feel it is starting to come down. All I can say is pray for my leg to recover, please,please please!

 

See ya tomorrow.

Today I decided to not look at my watch and run by feel and I was surprised at the result... My splits went as follows; 8:44(143), 8:50(148), 8:27(148), 8:19(154), wierd huh... Average pace was 8:36 and my average heart rate was 148 with a total time of 34:33 I wish my heart rate was below 140 for those splits but that will come with time. I also did my standard lower body weight training for 20 minutes and core training for 15 minutes, I then finished up on the elliptical glider for another 20 minutes of steady gliding and keeping my heart rate above 130, so it was a pretty good workout. I am going to try and keep my mileage around 20 miles a week and then cross train with the elliptical glider until my leg is 100% , its not getting any worse and it is recovering each day so I will see how it goes the next little while...

 

See ya tomorrow!

I did just another recovery run today and my leg felt alittle better today, but I am at work right now and it is alittle sore, so we will see what tomorrow brings... My average pace was 9:07 and my heart rate average was 145, still alittle high, but I am sure that will come down as things progress forward. Not much else to add, I'm just glad to be out on the road even if my leg is a little sore... It was a real crisp morning and that is what its all about for, it helps with keeping my sanity!

See ya tomorrow

I went a little further today than what I have been running, my goal was the usual 4 miles but I had a second goal of maybe 6 miles depending on how my leg was doing... But I ended up getting in the 6 miles and I was able to keep a pretty even pace, I had a head wind for some of the run so it kepted my heart rate up... It was really warm out this morning, but I think this will be the last day of shorts, atleast for this morning runner, splits went as follows; 9:02(153), 8:44(149), 9:00(148), 9:22(145), 9:12(150), 9:05(149)... Total time was 54:35 with an average pace of 9:05 and heart rate average was at 149 still way to high for this pace, I don't know, I guess patience, patience, patience!!!!
