My goal today was to run for 1 hr without stopping!  And I did it Yeah.    I ran 5.50 miles in 61 minutes with .5 incline and then I walked the last half mile with 1.50 incline, with 2 pound weights in my hands and finished at 72 minutes.

My knee is acting really scary today so I thought I better not even try running. It pops right in the middle when I bend it.I can feel something in there when I put my hand on it. 

So I did the elliptical on a incline of 7 for 35 minutes, 3 miles and then I worked my abds and did a few leg weights,  Then I rode the bike for 15 minutes another 3 miles.

I should probley call these threshold miles or vo2 max miles, because they were not easy for me. I had to mentally talk myself in to even gettin gon the treadmill today. My baby is sick and It has just been an exhausting week so far.

So I ran 6 miles in 63.30 which is a pr in distance and time for me. I have found that if I turn the treadmill up after about a mile and run as fast as I can my legs go numb and then I can slow down, so I do this fo rmy whole run I ran anywhere from 5 to 7 I kept it on an incline of .5

Then I walked a slow.25 mile to cool down.    I am so proud of myself but to tired to really care right now.

I have a horriable cold again!  And my knee is sore, so I did not run today.  I did the elliptical for 45 minutes, a few weights and then I rode the bike for 45 minutes.

I am having knee issues. I could not even get comfprtable last night in bed because my knee hurt no matter how I had it. 

I did some streches and some light excercises at my house and then I went to the gym and did the elliptical at a high incline for 62 minutes.   Then I work my abs and  my inner thighs.

I had my knee looked at today and she thinks that I need to go back to an ortho,  I ran a mile very slow and then I walked one on a high incline.  The incline felt way better on the knee than the flat incline.

Then I rode the bike, started out painful but worked it's self out after about 5 minutes. I did take 400 ml of ibprophen before I left so I am sure that helped.

I woke up so stiff today.  I really had to push myself not to just stay home. I did the arc trainer for 45 minutes and then I rode the bike for 10 minutes.  I worked my abs some and did a few weights on the muscles that were not so sore.

My knee and quad are still pretty sore but I decided to give running a try today. I was suprised that it was almost less painful running than it is walking. I had to really concentrate on my foot placement or I would get shooting pains up my leg but over all it was a good run. Slower than I like but I had a good distance for me.

I worked my legs and then I rode the bike for 15 minutes not as much weight as I have been, but I did not want to push to hard.
