5.50 on the elliptical, pretty easy I did about 31/2 at a higher in tensity. 

So I counted my meds, and I have been on the anti-inflamatorys for a week... that means that tomorrow I can try to run on the treadmill!!! I will do a few slow easy miles on the treadmill and then I few on the elliptical! Let all say a little prayer... cross our fingers... rub the Budda belly and hope, hope, hope that all goes will and that I'm ready to slowly start back into the running world!

OK... I have finally quit crying enough to write my blog. I did not have a good day and I'm scared and angry that I'm not getting better. I warmed up on the elliptical for 1.25 miles then went to the treadmill for my first try at running. I made about .50 before I was in too much pain and had to get off. I went back to the elliptical to get another mile, but I could not keep from tearing up so I headed home. I will start to post my cross training (elliptical miles) because it's just too depressing to see all the 0 on my blog. I don't know how to add the cross training to my blog. I go to the doctor Tuesday after work, he had said that if things did not go good he would do cortazone injection. I'm terrified of this option. I have heard nothing but horror stories that people end up worse then they were before the shots, or they don't help at all. Has anyone here had shots and did they work? Any advise would help.

6 miles on the elliptical while keeping my strides per min between 180 - 190, then the last .40 to finish out the hour with my strides between 140- 150. I think I'm over my self centered crying bit. There was a couple of times today that were touch and go, but like I said... I think I'm through that phase. I decided to stay positive and think of this as a time to concentrate on other body parts that I can get stronger. I did lots of arms and ab work after my elliptical time. I will try to stay focused on getting stronger in other was that hopefully will be helpful in the long run.

Talked hubby into going to the gym with me again. We did tons of abs together with a weighted ball, fun drill that you need two people to do. Then I did a bit of arms and 6 on the elliptical. I just made a toasty Almond Butter and strawberry jam sandwitch with a cold glass of milk!! MMMMM
