    YAY!  Back on the run.  After 2 weeks of absolutely no running it was nice getting back to it.  Nice easy 30 min on the treadmill.  Now stretch and Ice.

    Note: I have been diligently in the gym strength training.  We have added in a leg day which last week worried me a little bit.  On the 3rd set of leg press my legs started cramping really bad so I immediately stopped.  After sleeping that night I was just sore but no pulls or anything.  At this point in the game I think it is going to be all about listening to the body and stopping BEFORE the body make me.

     

    Monday: Chest – Flat, Incline dumbbell, dumbbell fly

    Tuesday: Legs – Extensions, hamstring curls, leg presses, calf raises (Reg, outer, inner)

    Wednesday: Bi / Tri

    Thursday: Back (pull-ups 7’s descending to 1)

    Friday: Nothing

  • Monday Mileage

    Well in the spirit of keeping the blog updated I guess I better say something today.  In typical fashion I would like to write about all the awesome trail miles I put in along with all the road miles I am running with Weymouth Woods bearing down on me (Jan 19, 2013) hahah…..but that is not going to be the case this week, again!  I will share that I have put in about 20 miles on the elliptical last week, does that even count?

    Anyhow, last week I completed my bone scan now it’s time to wait for the radiologist to read and write a report on it then send it to my Dr for my appointment on Thursday.  Hopefully only good news will come out of this but we will see.  I am already committed to run the Army Ten Miler in late October so I hope I will get cleared for that.  If not I guess the wife and I will just have to go up there and enjoy the city without running since I have already booked and paid for our lodging.

    Today’s workout included
    Lunch
    Dumbbells Flat – 55#, 65#, 75#
    Dumbbells Incline – 55#, 60#, 65#
