Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Felt the after effects of Saturday a bit with this stupid injury, so I went a little less hard and for a little less time today.  Seriously, who knew that smashing my leg against a rock would produce the worst tendonitis I've ever had?!  Feels good to finally be doing something physical again, even though it's not exactly my preference of activity.

Back on the spin bike today.  However, after 5 minutes it was hurting to sit on that thing (guess you've gotta get used to it over time?).  Regardless, I went 15 minutes total before I called it quits. 

Had some time on my hands so I jumped on the treadmill, turned up the incline and started power hiking.  No major pain in the shin which was encouraging.  Turned up the speed and actually ran for 4 minutes before I started feeling pain, so I started power hiking again.  Ended up with almost 20 minutes and some vert.  Forgot to look at the distance, so it's a guess.  Happy to be on the verge of running again.

Decided to do just the spin bike today in order to rest the shin.  I'm planning on hitting the JRP on Saturday to get a gauge on how this tendonitis responds to actual running, outside.  I'm hoping things will be ok since I'd really like to be ready to pace my dad next Friday at PET 50 if he needs me.
