Day 3 of week 4 of the 100 pushup challenge. Stomach has been hurting so did all pushups wussy style. 160 total. Power finally came back on at 5:30 this morning. It was a cold night. Sold my Utah Valley Half Marathon slot today. I was starting to worry about getting in shape for it in time and really didn't think I would be to that point. Tonight was a bit more positive. I tightened down the brace and headed out for a walk in the snow with the dog. 2 1/4 miles and I was probably doing 17-18 minute miles. Some good stretching afterwards. I was even starting to think of a recovery plan while walking. :)

| Another successful walk today. Braced up the ankle and headed out. For the first mile I was averaging about 18:20, but by the end I was down below 17 MM. 3.32 miles total. Icing the ankle now. I am starting to feel some hope on recovering! |

| Braced up the ankle again. Walked 1/2 mile, alternated run/walk for another half mile, ran 1/2 mile, alternated run/walk for another half mile, ran 1/2 mile, walked 1/2 mile cooldown. It felt good to be running again. Went to the gym and did 40 minutes on the stationary bike. If I got my heart rate up too high, the thumb would start to throb (I sliced off a good chunk of my right thumb on Easter).

| No big workouts today because I developed a bacterial infection - probably from the thumb injury. 30 minutes yoga.

| 1 mile walking the dog. An hour later I headed over to Draper and did the Canal Trail loop up and the Porter Rockwell Trail back. Ran the first 3.5 miles, ran most of the next 3.5 miles (maybe walked 1 mile off and on). Came home and played 2 games of horse with my son. I was having fun - but knew the ankle would complain later. Washed and waxed the car. Now I am back in the boot. I'm going to try to work out more later, but may be a wuss. |

| Paul and I at work started week 6 of the 100 pushup challenge and decided we are not enjoying it at all anymore. We will be doing push-ups - but not as seriously as that program. (C'mon - started out with a set of 45, then 55, then 35 - at that point we quit and there were 2 more sets). After work I walked 5 miles. Stopped at the gym and did 10 minutes on the torso cardio machine, then 10 minutes on the moving stairs machine. 45 minutes of upper body strength training. Walked home and ate dinner.

| Ran 4 miles after work. I had no energy whatsoever - don't know if I was tired, adjusting to heat, or what. Ankle does good with the brace on. It just hurts sometimes during the day when I don't brace it. Tried a new exercise from the Biggest Loser Simple Swaps. Take a deck of cards and shuffle it. Diamonds = pushups, Hearts = lunges/squats, Spades = Reverse Crunches, Clubs = Crunches. Face cards = 10 reps. Aces = 1 minute break. Turn over one card at a time and do the number of reps and assigned exercise. Total time spent < 20 minutes.

| Life has left me unable to workout yesterday because I was moving furniture and tonight because I got an injection in my ankle and needed to stay off of it. The ankle is healing, slowly and surely. The podiatrist calls it a mild case of tendonitis. I received another herbal injection tonight that is supposed to help the body heal itself. The doc recommends I stay away from no-heel shoes for a while since that seems to cause the tendon to elongate and hurt more. So - I will avoid my vibram five-fingers and other flat shoes in the meantime.

| Lots of leg work tonight. 3 miles at the gym on the treadmill. 1 hour of lower body, core strength training. 1 hour of medium to high exertion on the stationary bike. Dang! I was tired!

| Down in St. George with my sister to volunteer at the Ironman. In the evening I ran about 3 miles total. Ran from our hotel down to the finish area and checked out where we would work in transition.
