| Day #1 of plan. Did well. Ran this morning on the treadmill for an
hour, took a shower, went to the orthopod to get my knee looked at. He
agrees it was likely a meniscus tear but a very minor one....the bottom
line is that I am running pain free right now. Why scope it? The x-ray
looked good; I have beautiful bones. And there was space there for
cartilage...I am not bone on bone anywhere in my knees, which is great
news too.
When I got home I jumped back on the treadmill and
ran for another hour and 20 minutes, banking some time for later in the
week when I won't have two hours to run. My mileage will go up
way too fast if I spend the whole two hours running. I am going to try
hard to get some x-training in. I also gave myself extra time today for
the ice bath, which I sat in for 20 minutes. As I get more fit I will
be able to handle running 12 hours a week. As for now, I need to be
careful. I went 13.6 miles today but that will decrease dramatically. I
hope to average no more than 9 miles a day this week. |

How does this work? I finally ran today, after two very LONG weeks off, on the treadmill. No knee pain, so I am very excited about that. Harder than I thought though! When I don't run, even for more than a few days, my body goes wacko...heart, blood pressure, weight, and autoimmune issues. So...I plan to run twice a day, very easy, and diet for now. A lower weight should be easier on my knees and slowing down and running twice a day should allow everything to heal up nicely before I start more serious training in December. By December I want to have my mileage up to 60 and my weight down to 130. Then I'll be ready to go. I may even register for Boston! Either way, I definitely have a plan, today.

| Yes, I actually weighed myself. Today was a bust; I got on the treadmill and tried to run more correctly (my left heel has been heading in, making me slightly pigeon toed on only one side). So....I was being really good. But tight. I stopped to stretch and ZOWIE. right lower flank pain in my back, which is threatening to get worse if I so much as breathe wrong. I guess there are good days and bad days. I stretched and walked the rest of the hour. Hopefully a good nights sleep and back will be better, not worse.

| Had a very hard time getting going this morning....It was a time when it really helped to have the two a day goal. Thanks to that, I stopped studying (which is not going well), and jumped on the treadmill for a fairly producttve 8 more miles. My back is still finicky, as are my knees. But I am now back on track for this week.

| With the 13.6 I recorded on the wrong week, I have made it a solid 40 mile week. Still sore and slow and the pericarditis pain has come back....however, thanks to the two a days, I was able to attain my mileage goal, yippeee. I plan to keep it up and head outside by late next week. |

| I meant to run 15 today over the course of two workouts, but only made it 14.1. Still that's good and I'm on track for the week...I'm planning to be short on time for the end of the week. Should I be wearing a heart monitor? I never have. I guess I don't want to know. It was a stressful day; running helped a lot.

| Tough day, tired from yesterday, medication issues. I walked while watching Matlock and then ran the commercials. Oh well, I'm still at 20 for the week already. |

| Treadmill, 10.1 miles, interrupted for 15 minutes to get last son off to school. I was tired but not bad at all. Just really bored with the treadmill and excited to get outside this weekend. I am past 30 miles for this week already! |
