261.8 lbs

Another good day and hopefully another day closer to being able to run like before.  Just taking it one day at a time and being grateful that I can do what I'm doing right now.  It's the little triumphs that I'm focusing on.  Second day of lifting and I'm feeling it.  Supplementing with the elliptical really helps getting in more cardio that's very low impact on my knee.  The only thing now is to keep it up! 

JUST RUN!!!

A little jogging

Today is the first day I've actually did a little running since I tweaked my knee a couple weeks ago.  It felt a little awkward because I'm still favoring that knee so much but I did 60 minutes on the track and jogged the straight-a-ways and walked the curves.  It's a start.  This afternoon I lifted and did the elliptical for 30 minutes.  I worked up a pretty good sweat on the elliptical and it wasn't too hard on my knee.  I will continue this routine until I'm back up and running like before.  I think I burned my 1000 calories today but I over ate at dinner.  I just LOVE tacos!  Better luck tomorrow.

Week 2: Day 1

Very frustrating day work wise.  Glad it's over with.  Sometimes the Air Force pisses me off with their inability to keep records correctly.  Hopefully I can get everything taken care of.  It's bed time and time to forget about this day.

TODAY'S WORKOUT

(AM) - Cross training (I didn't cross train, I ran) 

Week 1: Day 6

My "long" run is in the books along with my first week.  Tomorrow is a rest day which I'm looking forward to.  I am looking to improve with my running (quality miles not just going through the motions) along with my nutrition (quit eating crap calories!).  I've got a long way to go and October is right around the corner.  I need to get more focused and put in some good fitness weeks coming up.

JUST RUN!

Week 1: Day 5

WEEK 1: DAY 5

I ran Wednesday but I didn't post for some reason.  I was supposed to do 3 miles yesterday but we had our long term storage delivered and we were running around all day yesterday so I didn't get a chance to run.  Today was supposed to be a rest day BUT I had to make up for yesterday.  So I was scheduled to make up the 3 and I did that and some (5.59 mi).  As long as I'm not skipping workouts I should be good to go.  Just need to be creative with scheduling my workouts sometimes.

Speed Work Day

WEEK 1: DAY 2

A little sore from yesterday's weight session but nothing too horrible.  My first "speed" session was today and I didn't think it would be too bad ONLY doing 3 miles.  Boy was I wrong!  That was a long 3 miles.  Good thing tomorrow is a easy 3.  This afternoon was my first time on the row machine.  I'm trying to switch it up a little by trying different machines.  It wasn't too bad once I got the rhythm down.  Onward to day 3!

HAPPY RUNNING!
