Full body weight resistance training followed by 3 easy miles running.

I didn't have time to do the eliptical before my run this morning so my foot wasn't as warmed up as usual. My foot did hurt at about 3/10 while running. I think I need a foot transplant. LOL

Total run 3 miles 23:30

Simutlated speed work today.  Plan warm up, 4x800m with 2 min RI, cool down.

Actual work out on arc trainer.  10 min warm up, 4x3min at 100% effort with 2 min RI, 30 min easy for cool down.  Lots of thinking about how I'd rather be running.

My foot was feeling pretty good yesterday and I really wanted to run, so I went to the gym and warmed up for 10 minutes on the eliptical.  I then got on the TM and started a nice easy run.  My foot was feeling great and I was really enjoying myself as the first couple miles went along.  I hit mile 3 and was still feeling great, so I decided I would do 6 miles.  Well, just a little bit into the 4th mile my foot started to hurt a bit and the pain started to increase to the point that I slowed it down significantly over the last half mile of the 4th mile and then called it quits at 4.  My foot hurt pretty bad last night, but this morning I could barely walk.  I put one of those analgesic patches on it to help me get through the day, but it really hurts.

I made the decision this morning, that I will not run again until some time in July.  I will stick with the arc trainer and eliptical machine for the next few weeks no matter how good it feels.  I'll probably do a test run when I'm in CA over July 4th weekend, since I won't have access to my gym, and if that doesn't go well, I'll make another appointment with my podiatrist.

There was no time to mope around and sulk about my dumb foot, so I headed to the gym for an arc training tempo psuedo-run.  10 min warm up 40 min hard 10 min cool down.  My foot actually felt better after doing that.  Somehow the eliptical and arc trainer loosen things up without hurting my foot.

I am still limping this morning when walking, but the pain is half what it was yesterday.

Full body weight resistance with emphasis on lower body, then 25 minutes eliptical work.

I'm taking Chase (my 10 year old) golfing after work today. I'll probably have to get a cart, since I don't think my foot would hold up for the entire corse. He's a good golfer and will probably beat me.

Plan called for a long run. I started with 1 hour arc training and then planned to do 1 hour elliptical, but I received a call from work about 1/2 hour into the elliptical and had to go treat a patient.

Foot still not doing well today. :(
