4.5 mile run around my little neighborhood.  Nothing hurt. :)  There weren't many cars.  My cardio is coming back slowly.  It feels good to see some improvement.  Went to Brady on Tuesday.  He did some more magic and everything is working well.  It is ever so faint, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  From now on I am going to write 5 good things about my runs.

#1 nothing hurt

#2 cardio improving, noticably

#3 I did not get mad at any cars and drivers

#4 I was the perfect temp, not too cold nor too hot.

#5 I felt safe :)

1.5 run on the treadmill.  REd Cross 5k.  It was very hard and SLOW!  but I did what I could.  My time was 32 min and change.  I ran With Alice.  she did GREAT!  She smashed her previous 5k time by like 3+minutes.  She even got into the PUKE zone.  I just ended the race wheezing ;)  The bod felt fine and still does. :D  I really might be healing :)

5 mile run.  It was tiring, but all felt ok.  My right foot was killing me toward the end.  It must be those DARN neruomas back. I hate them :p

5 mile run.  I was tired and slow.  the foot was fine for todays run :)  the left knee was doing a weird thing.  I see Brady on Monday.

Next weeks plan is to run 3 monday, 5 Wednesday and 6 on Sat.  I will just add a mile a week to Saturdays run each week until after the 1/2 in June.  for Marathon training, I'll be adding up to 8 miles on the Wed run and the long stuff on sat as prescribed.  If all goes well with the half, I'll add a 4th easy run day :)

Lament and Whine section- my weight will not go down :p  ARGH!  Ok, it will go down, but just SUPER slow :p  I'm going to start posting it.  Maybe the SHAME of my FATTNESS will get my Maybe not....  I'll think more on it and let y'all know :)

6 miles outside; the longest distance so far.  The running is starting to feel more back to normal.  I as sucking a lot less wind when I run :)  The legs and back are doing well.  I am still having issues here and there, but the pt is resolving them as they come up.  My SI joint is intermittently flaring up, without rhyme or reason, but not too bad, just bothersome.  My knees are not 100%.  I have never had knee issues, so I am still hoping that it's just a glitch here and there that just needs to be worked through.  Over all, the running is feeling more like it used to.  Over all I am feeling healed.  I am thinking I am up to about the low to mid 90's, if I were going to give it a percentage of healed ;)  I'm not too worried about being able to complete the UVM 1/2 in June.

I forgot to post this one.  2.5 on the treadmill and then 2.5 outside.  The running is feeling good :)  the niggles are getting more and more minimal.  Healing seems to eminent :)  I am still only allowed to run 3 days a week and I am getting used to that kind of idea.  I am having more and more good running moments :)  It really is nice to have that return.  It makes the idea of running a marathon this fall more palatable :)
