Hmmm I dunno

Ahhh paradise!  Its our first morning in Maui, it is beautiful here.  I decided last week that I would put off any running until I got here for a couple of reasons:

1.  Because yesterday was the one month anniversary of the Salmon

2.  If my IT band still hurt I wouldn't be as depressed as I would be at home

I got up at 6:00 am had a cup of coffee and decided to go test out my leg.  I started out around a 9:30 pace and felt absolutely great!  Because we're at sea level I automatically started running faster because I was breathing so freely my second mile was at a 7:17 pace.  I finished out with the last mile and a quarter at an 8:28 pace.  It was awesome I ended at the beach and met my dad who walked back to the condo with me. 

I really can't explain how exhilirating it is to be pain free!  and to find out here is an awesome bonus.

It's funny when I get hurt or don't train I tend to stay away from the blog, because I feel guilty for not being out there in the mix. 

Aloha homies!

Well hello party people!  I actually got out and ran today, I also started a new workout program.  I have decide to build my core and strengthen everything while I'm running too.  I think this will help with my IT band issues, and well dammit I aint gettin any younger, but I seem to be getting rounder, lol.  More lean muscle = less fat.  We'll see how this goes.  Anyway the weather was a little cold but I had on three longsleeve shirts, running pants, gloves and a beanie.  After the first .25 I felt perfect and only had to roll up the beanie at the turn around.  8:45 avp.  3 sets of butterflies, tricep pulldowns and 50 sit ups (startin out slow) I don't wanna over do it.

Beautiful run day, no wind, sunny, fairly warm.  felt good I was a little quicker than Friday 8:28 AVP.  I had a leg and shoulder workout after with Kaden.  I am sore good thing I'm taking it easy.  I'm gonna run every other day for now until my body becomes acclimated to the workout routine.
