Training Setback

Ouch! Right knee pain...only when running and planting my foot though. No pain when walking. Also, the air quality is really bad again. So on to the treadmill (ugh!). Walking on the treadmill at a 6% grade is pretty taxing on the cardio. I also started doing some strength training to see if that might help some of my ailments. I am trying to get the pain out of my knee and get the pain out of my right shoulder...I have no idea where that came from.

I am really starting to worry about my ability to get ready for the Ogden marathon. I will try to get out and run this next week. I have already had to adjust my training schedule three times since the start of January. How frustrating.

Well, until next time, happy trails to you.

New Year, Here We Go!

Wow, I have been down sick for the last two weeks with a variety of bronchial and intestinal disorders. I finally feel healthy again and back to running this morning. Ouch! I am really starting over again. When I compare todays distance and time to a year ago, I am back where I started. I hope I can bounce back and stay healthy, the Ogden marathon is not too far away. Here we go! Let's do it.
