Rest, cross, 5 miles?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2004

Not sure what to do tonight. I’ve got to be somewhere by 7 so I need to leave the gym by 6:45. If I get there by 5, maybe I can get my 5 miles in and still have time to shower.
Legs a still a little tired. A nice slow [...]

Sore but happy.

Monday, March 8th, 2004

Legs and hip joints are sore today, but its a good thing. Big difference between being sore from a long run and being in pain from torn muscles. More ibuprofin this morning. Monday is rest day. Lots of stretching and maybe some weight lifting. My poor upper body is getting [...]

7 miles tonight! I’m back on track.

Sunday, March 7th, 2004

Friday was my rest day (movie night at home), and then Saturday was 55 minutes of cardio. No pain. Went very well.
Tonight I ran 7 miles! First 3 on the treadmill, then 2 on the track, then the last 2 on the treamill again. I’m a little sore but not bad. [...]

Cardio today, rest tomorrow?

Thursday, March 4th, 2004

50 minutes of cardio tonight and not so much as a twinge from my shin. I only felt it a little when I finally went to do a few walking laps on the track to cool down. Very nice. I didn’t even take my ibuprofin.
If I go back to Higdon’s schedule, tomorrow [...]

2.0 miles, some calf pain

Thursday, March 4th, 2004

I ran two miles on the treadmill last night. I skipped the shin exercises so that I wouldn’t kill the muscles before running on them.
The run went ok. I didn’t have pain on my shin, but my calf had massive cramping. It kinda came and went. It got painful enough that [...]

rest and cardio

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2004

Did a quick 40 minutes of cardio tonight, while resting my legs again from running. I wasn’t too sore today, but when I did a little jog on the track for a few steps, my shin hurt alot.
I was watching two people run on the track and they seemed to land on their toes. [...]

Screw the xrays

Monday, March 1st, 2004

OK, so the MD office says to not call them for 10 days. Ok, I’ll wait 10 days. I can’t just sit like a lump and do nothing.
I did a light jog tonight, 1.5 miles, 5 mph. My right calf felt a little tight/sore. I think my shin hurt a little [...]

Still waiting….

Monday, March 1st, 2004

Still waiting on the MD to tell me the results of the xrays. I guess I just sit and wait and not run until then. 60 minutes of cardio on Saturday. Took it easy on Sunday with 30 minutes of bicycling. My shin hurts when I’m just sitting or lying down, [...]
