What is that you see, actual mileage, could it be true, I think it is, I actually ran 2.28 miles this evening... Wow. It felt so good, and the best part was that I had no pain in my leg, except for some numbness in the spot of the injury. But no pain. I am able to hop on that leg with no pain so these are all good signs. I will ease into the running very gingerly, like tomorrow I will only do the elliptical and then Saturday I will do 2 to 3 miles tops... I will continue to alternate days of running with the elliptical for the next three weeks and see how it goes, only doing 2 to 3 miles on the days that I run. This is a good feeling and I hope for continued good days in the future. Average heart rate was 139 and both miles were done in 9:00 minutes, which was a surprise because I felt like I was just jogging real easy. I did a15:00 minute warm up on the elliptical and after I ran I did a 10:00 minute cool down. I then finished up with my lower body weight training for 30 minutes followed by my core training, I am pleased with the workout.

Not much else to say except, HAPPY DAY, HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!
