I woke up this morning and got out of bed and, sweet, no sharp pain in my leg with the first few steps.  It is still sore, but not the sharp pain I had been getting.

Went to the gym.

Abs and Core work

1 hour station cycle, 20.61 miles

I'm really hoping to go with Doone on her run Saturday.  I think there is a good chance I'll be able to do it.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  Still 48 hours of healing before then.

1 hour elliptical

Leg is feeling pretty good today.  I can still feel the strain, but no pain with walking or elliptical.  I'm going to try and run with Doone tomorrow.  I'll keep myself on a short leash though.

The run could have been worse, but it could have been a whole lot better too.  Doone and I got up early and were running by 5.  We decided to run on the island for a couple reasons: 1.  It is flat and 2.  It is 3.7 miles so I would never be to far from the car.  The plan was to do 3 laps for 11.1 miles.  Mile one was definitely more painful than I anticipated.  The pain level seemed to come down a bit on the second mile though.  By mile 3 I decided things were definitely not right were probably only going to get worse if I kept running, so I called it a day after the first lap and left Doone to finish the next 2 laps on her own.  

3.7 miles AP 9:30

I'm now sitting here with ice on my leg typing this and hoping that I will be able to walk today and tomorrow.  If I'm walking normal, it will be a good sign that I'm recovering well, if not, I could be in trouble for UVM.  Looks like I won't be running for another week either way.  I have to go pick up Doone soon.  Better run... well hobble. :)
