7.50 miles on the elliptical in 70 minutes. Today was a beautiful day with technicolor blue sky. Man the inversion breaks for a bit and I'm stuck in the gym. I can't imagine why so many people were inside the gym today. 

I never really think of myself as competitive person, I mean I never have a chance at winning races and stuff. But tonight when I got on my machine I looked at the time and mileage of the two men on each side of me and I made sure that I beat the mileage before either one of the got off there machines. If I could read the other machines I would try to beat others, but since I couldn't I just tried to find my zone and do my time on the machine. 

Go to the doctor after work tomorrow so I will see what the MRI says. I'm hoping the just give my some good drugs and let me run :) (Just kidding kinda)

So my daughter went to the gym with me tonight. It wonderful to have her with me but it's difficult because she wants to be around me, but dosn't have the stamina to go as long as I wanted on the elliptical. Oh well it was great to have some fun company.

 Doctors prognosis... It's degenerative knee stuff, and inflamation. So I got a script for some anti-inflamatories that are on a national back order! So I will need to call the doc tomorrow and get a different medicine. One more week of no running (Suck!!) to let the meds do their trick. After a week I can try to run on the treadmill, if all goes well I can increase my mileage. If not he will give me shots in my knee (Yuck!) I really don't want that. Oh and I need to take the inserts out of my shoes that the foot doc had made. He thinks they have over compensated and that is what has inflammed my knee. I'm hoping this will all do the trick, and as I was talking to him I did get the new inserts about mid December. Right about when I started having trouble. Let all cross our fingers that this is the fix!

Boy my days have ran into one another and I can't remember how much I did on the elliptical the other nights. I should change my blog so I can count all my cross training. Oh well.... 5 miles on the elliptical tonight. The count down starts... I should be able to start running on the treadmill in 6 days!!!

Got my hubby to go to the gym with me. Even though we didn't really workout together. I did 60 minutes on the elliptical and he did some weights before he did about 20 minutes on the elliptical next to me. Then we did abs and stretching together. It was nice to have him with me. I can tell that I'm getting a bit depressed with my recovery. My intensity in my workouts is not as good. I really need to refocus on my diet and try to get a bit more focus in my workouts also. 4 more days on the elliptical... the count down continues.
