This morning I rode my bike to work and jumped on the elliptical for a half mile in an effort to stretch out my left hamstring before reporting to the office. Following work, I returned to the elliptical machine and ran for 3.5 miles before transitioning to the treadmill for a mile. I ran at speeds from 5.2 to 6.2 miles per hour on the treadmill with a lot of stiffness in my left leg and a little soreness. Consequently, slow and steady progress! I then cool down by returning to the elliptical to run 5.2 miles before heading home to ice my legs.

In addition to my 31.1-mile bike ride to and from work, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups for my daily non-running workout.

Thanks Allie and I was happy to get in some miles running outside (i.e., off of the elliptical) this weekend. This injury is absolutely teaching me to be patient and the importance of stretching. By the way, nice 22-mile workout and great job with finishing strong! You are looking ready to go for TOP on the 18th. Best of luck!
