Run fast

106 minutes on the stairmaster.  613 floors in first hour then 400 in the next 45 minutes for total of about 1,000.  The miles were very inflated so just based on effort I think 17 makes sense.

Hamstring PT afterwards.

elliptical today.  hamstring seems to be improving but i am hesitant to test it out.  maybe a mile or two tomorrow.

5 miles on rowing machine then 5 on the stairmaster.  I held up ok on the rowing which means my push up appointments at work must be paying off.

8 miles on the treadmill.  No joke.  The hamstring was a bit creaky but held up ok.  Today is sure to be a good day.

PM: 1 mile on the treadmill then hamstring PT. Progress.

Ventured onto to the road wearing running shoes for the first time in more than a week.  After one mile I ran into Jake who I was running his most direct (only 7.5 miles) route to work.  Ran with him to Sunnyside, looped back to SHP for a lap then back home.  No serious damage done for the 2nd day in a row!

I am not a big soccer fan but this shot by Messi is undeniably impressive.  Go to 46 seconds into the video.  The teams ended in a tie yet Real Madrid still won the Spanish Super Goal Cup championship because of an "away goals rule".  Oh, that's why I don't like soccer.

Another day on a machine.  Planning to do a real run tomorrow, outside.

First real run since August 5th.  Met Jon Kotter at the zoo, ran 7 up Emigration, met up with Nate Ogden then we ran back down.  Both of them are now my neighbors so they will have to teach me a thing or two about running fast.  Jon and I talked a lot about marathons and we joked that based on Nate's 5k time (13:51) he should be running in the low teens.

Finished with 16 miles, 2 afterwards on the stairmaster then hamstring PT.
