Legs are sore. This time its a good sore, the kind from bringing them out of atrophy, use.
I can tell this is going to take a while before I get to full speed again. I timed my first lap and it was so sad. It was 16:23:49, if this was the marathon, I would make the first mile.
At least I got to try out my new headphones. They are from Koss, and it was OK sound, not much better than the stock ones, a little lower on the bass.

Hmm didn’t even weigh in.
I did have a good workout on the treadmill. I went for 15 minutes at 4 incline and 4.5 MPH. After that I switched to the stationary bike for 10 minutes. After that I was done…. I have lost some endurance.
Kind of busy day.
So I finally took a lap, still hurt a little but it felt good.
Can doing an activitiy that hurts feel good?
Anyhoo, super happy. I will be ultimate happy when I can run fast with no pain.

It has been nearly two months since I have a had a workout where I have finished a workout and have been drenched in sweat.
I have gotten close and today is one of those days that I had a decent amount of sweat. I only burned 302 calories on the stationary bike and 252 calories on the elliptical.
Still I miss those days. When I am done with my workout I feel so tired, but I know I have accomplished something good. Those days were 1000 calorie workout days.

OK I admit it, I am getting lazy, I was supposed to start running again today. I will start working out again, just not sure how intense and hopefully tomorrow.
My foot does still hurt so I will give it another week of rest. But my left foot does not hurt much more than the Plantar Fasciititis in my right foot.

I feel like lately I been coming up with excuses to work out. Even today, yeah I had stuff to do, but always found time to work out.
Maybe the end of football season will change things.
Still I am getting tired of just pushups and situps. Want to start doing longer workouts.

Was running around all day doing all kinds of tasks. I snuck in a little workout, but still was too busy to get a decent workout.
Next month looks promising. So my new phase will start then.

Today I worked out at the gym in the office. At first I planned to go on the stationary bike before switching to the elliptical. Unluckily…. or luckily, someone has occupied it before I could get on.
Instead of waiting or trying another machine, I decided, what the heck, and took a shot on the treadmill.
I started slow first, but I was able to get up to 4 miles per hour at an incline of 5. Overall, in about 20 minutes, I ran slightly over a mile.
So that made me feel good. If things keep going the way they are, I should be running by next week and at full strength early or mid next month.

Over the past few weeks, especially the last few days, I have been paying attention to how my feet was landing. The pain did move around which lets me to believe that I actually went through 2 or more bouts with gout.
But lately I noticed my left foot is OK coming down, but if the ground is uneven and my ankle twists with me not being prepared for it, it hurts.
Also, when I push off of my left foot, it involves using my ankle. At the begining when my ankle is smaller than a right angle, it hurts, especially to the outside.
Unfortunately, my foot is still slightly swollen, so tonight, I will give the anti inflammatory medication another try.

Today marks the end of the 7th month that I am into this training. What a long way. I am pretty bummed that I will probably not make my goal of 190. But I still can make a goal of less than 220 be the year anniversary.
Anyway, I am taking it easy, I can walk farther and my right foot is getting stronger. I think I will make my goal of running next week.
