I actually felt like a real runner today for the first time since Boston.  I really wanted to run outside, but I convinced myself that the TM would be easier on my foot and allow me to regulate my speed better.  I did 4 miles in 33:35.  I had no pain or tightness during the run.  I really wanted to go faster and farther, but I'm trying to be smart.  I think I will just do easy runs, slowly building up my milage for the next month or 2 before I start getting back into speed work and tempo runs. 

I'm not out of the woods yet though.  I did the frozen bottle massage after my run, and that still hurts pretty good, but at least I ran pain free.  Yea!!!

Weight training, heavy lower body, light upper body.  I lifted so hard I got nauseas.  For some reason that happens to me when I lift too hard.  I was thinking about doing some slow TM running after lifting, but I felt too sick so I did 30 mins eliptical.  By the end of the 30 minutes I felt fine.  My foot feels great today as long as I'm not massaging it.  I don't know what to think about that, but I'm grateful to walk and run painfree.

More weight training.  Heavy upper, light lower body. 

30 minutes eliptical

I can't believe how much better I feel after just a few runs.  I'm feeling like my old self again.  Tomorrow I think I'll do a nice easy 6 miles.  I can't wait.

I did some core work and then got on the Gauntlet. It is a stair machine where there are stairs that go around like a TM. I did it for 20 mins. That was plenty. Then I did 10 mins on the elliptical to cool down.
