30 minutes on the bike and 1/2 mile walking. I ran out of time but I was also kinda beat. I had skipped my rest day so I took it light today.
I went for a short 1 mile walk in the park too. I did a short little jog and was surprised [...]

Weights day! Went up in all sets. Very nice. I’m so glad to actually see something progressing. It won’t be long before I get back to my prerunning fitness level (which, oddly enough, was much higher than now). I did my shin exercises and calf raises. I’m pretty sure [...]

45 minutes on the bike last night. Its actually quite difficult to ride for that long because my backside get numb from sitting on that seat so long. Plus its pretty boring if there’s nothing good on TV. For some reason its hard to read when I’m peddling fast. I could [...]

Same as yesterday. Same results.
Someone once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results.

I rode the bike last night for 25 minutes. It was hard to get my heart rate up to where I wanted it (~150). I had to crank up the resistance to 10 and it finally got there. I wanted a good speed on my legs so I couldn’t have it too [...]

I’ve decided my shin is definately not healed enough to start full time running again so this week I will rest it again.
I missed my workout on Monday because I was doing taxes, which suck, but now they are done for another year. Next year I will have our receipts together. Promise.
So, Tuesday [...]

I ran at the park but I only wanted 1 or 2 miles. I needed to run on grass so I headed the big open field. As best I could estimate it was about 1/4 mile across the field, maybe 1/3. So there I was running back and forth across the field/lawn. [...]

Yes, yes, I’m going to run later.
I wanted to make sure I had some protein in my body after running to do some quick repair so I made up this dreadful protein shake. Ingredients:
1 scoop of Gensoy soy protein shake mix8 oz of skim milk2 heaping teaspoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened)1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
Mix [...]

I did my 60 minutes of cardio tonight. Ho hum.
Well, here I am now at the end of “stop week”. Where are we? Well, both calves still hurt, although I don’t think they hurt as much. As I recall (yeah, I could look at the archives), they hurt too badly to [...]

Last night I had my usual 60 minutes of cross/cardio but substituted 10 minutes of rowing for 10 minutes on the bike. I like the rower alot but its very boring. 10 minutes is about all I can stand. It also requires some different muscles and even pulls on the shin muscles [...]
