I went on a nice evening run.  It has been six weeks, and there still is pain.  I need to slow down my runs and not put mileage on very quickly.  This is going to be a process.  One plus about the run is that the big hill I ran up has never been so easy.  It was still hard, but I kept a nice consistent speed the whole way up.  I think that is due to spin workouts! 

This morning at the gym I did a "pyramid" spin workout.  (Speed intervals).  Then I did 45 minutes of upper body weights.

Woke up with pain.  I feel like I am back at second base with this healing process, soooo FRUSTRATING!  I did not look at the time it took me last night to run my miles, but I think it was WAY too fast.  I felt so free and I wanted to run and run.  I over did myself :(  If I am not feeling it in two weeks, pretty sure my fall marathon will be off.  I am really sad, but that gives me more reason to train for a TRI.  I hope I can at least run 6 miles in 2 months relatively normal.  

Today I went to the gym lifted upper body for 45 minutes.

Spinning class:  Speed intervals again.  

20 minutes core strenghtening.

I will return later to the gym for more... (I have to compinsate for the running I don't do).  I returned for a 1 mile swim in the evening.

Leg is feeling better, but I am still not going to run on it.

5 am (really early) 1 hour spin class.  Really hard effort, I think the teacher wanted to show off!  I would too if I could spin that fast.  

1 hour pump class.  The teacher drove me crazy. 

More than a 1 mile swim in the evening.  I worked on breath.  I almost died.  No, not really.

Saturday!!!  I have had so much fun reading everyone's blogs about the UVM.  Sounds like everyone did a fantastic job, congrats!

Today I did a spin class, followed by a fourty minute bike ride.  Oh my heavens, it is sooooo fun!!!  Going down hills is a little frightening, but so terrific!  I love passing tons of runners! 

I went to NUTTY PUTTY caves today with some friends.  Oh goodness, I look like a war-victim.  So many bruises and scrapes.  Way cool place though, can't wait to go back!
