Flyin High

5 Easy Miles - 46:15 - 9:15 Pace

Felt really good today, legs were loose and moving under me well, left knee was a little sore, but nothing of concern. Even picked up the pace quite a bit, had my lungs working at the end. See how I feel tomorrow.

A Little Sore

3 Easy Miles - 28:45 - 9:35 Pace

Legs were a little sore today, knee had a slight pain, but all in all good. I think the socks are doing wonders, even with just keeping my calves warm and loose. I am trying to figure out how and when to fit plyometrics/P90X Plyo into my routine, maybe start with Satrudays so I have resting periods after, and go from there.

Compression

3 Easy Miles - 28:30 - 9:30 Pace

Wore my compression socks today for the first time, they felt great. My calves were warmed up it felt like, and I didn't feel any twinges. Hopefully these workout for me.

Day Two

2 Easy Miles - 19:30 - 9:45 Pace

No socks yet, but still felt good. Did the stair stepper before again to warm up, didn't do abs first this time.....really just jumped on the treadmill right away to talk with Gina. Then, when I got ready to move, I was concentrating so hard on no hurting my self and feeling for every little twinge and pain...that I barely chatted with her...lol.

Anywho, felt ok, still just two miles, I am slow, I don't have much cardio endurance. it will come back, just feels good to run again.

Ok, I'm back

2 Easy Miles - 20:00 - 10:00 Pace

Got back to it today, with a few modificaitons. I hit the stair stepper before running to loosen up my legs a little, also did abs and weights first, just to get the blood flowing. Waiting on my compression socks.....yeah, I am looking for any little advantage to keep me on my feet.

It was painful today, which I expected. Between the lack of running for 5 weeks, 10 lbs of holiday weight, and 10 lbs of lifting weight, it just didn't feel the same putting one foot in front of the other...but it did feel good to be moving.

See how I feel tomorrow, and how Wed goes.

Yup....back to early

2.5 Easy Miles...who knows

Hurt my calf again, not real badly, but I could feel it coming on, so I stopped.... I am just not right. Three weeks off this time for sure, and if I get hurt again, off to the doctor.

Damn

Hurt my calf again.....I am taking some more time off, like a month.

It was too early

2.5 Easy Miles...who knows

Hurt my calf again, not real badly, but I could feel it coming on, so I stopped.... I am just not right. Three weeks off this time for sure, and if I get hurt again, off to the doctor.

Back to it a little early

4 Easy Miles - 38:00 - 9:30 Pace

Felt good, I thought the boot was working, I was stretching, so I just went for it. The calves felt good, it was the rest of me hurting, but that will come with inactivity. I'll do another easy short run Wednesday to see how I feel, maybe up the miles a bit Friday.

Bad Luck

3.5 Miles - 30:00 - 8:30 Pace

Hurt my right calf again, I haven't been wearing my boot...at all. Guess I thought I was cured, looks like I was wrong. I didn't hurt it as bad, I felt it coming and stopped running, so maybe three weeks won't be necessary.

Back to Back

4 Easy miles - 27:00 - 9:15 Pace

Got in another workout this week before I head to Indy. Had a big break in the middle of the week so had to stuff two runs together...all felt good.

Tempoish

3 Tempo Miles - 24:15 - 8:05 Pace

Started moving more into the speed workouts, did a Tempo like run today. Felt good, lungs were struggling a bit, but legs were good....and good and sore when I got done, so I think I was at the right speed. I need to start putting together a training plan.

Packing on the Miles

8 Easy Miles - 72:00 - 9:00 Pace

This was the best I have felt running in forever. THe first 4 miles were like a walk in the park, everything felt great. As I pressed on, and increased the speed, it got a little tough, but I still had no issue. Looking forward to Wednesday.

Decided to start working on my speed today, Intervals it was. Tough to gauge how fast I was really going, I think most of the treadmills are different speeds..so who knows. I felt it though, so that is all that matters.

Little Sore

4 Easy Miles - 35:50 - 8:58 Pace

Was a little sore today, my my knee or calves, just the usually running soreness....which felt great. I ran a pretty fast pace today, looking forward to running a tempoish run Friday or Saturday.

Continuous Long Run

7 Easy Miles - 1:04:00 - 9:09 Pace

Long run today, but felt really good. My calves were fine, my knee had no pain. I ran pretty fast too. I started at a faster pace than normal, and at the end I was cruising. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Semi-Speed Work

Long Monday

7 Easy Miles - 1:06:30 - 9:30 Pace

Long run today..well, sort of, got about 3.3 miles into the run...and the fire alarm went off in the gym... So I had to get off and go outside...for about 15 minutes. After going back in..twice, I finally restarted and made it to 7 miles. I think that number is a bit skewed given I stopped for a while. Still felt good though.
