Training of 2/18-2/24 " ARE WE THERE YET?!"

So far I've been in this Recovery Phase since the second week of September. From October 2006 through September 2007 I was off completely from my injuries. In September, the rehab phase slowly started... mainly just with stretches and body work...

So, 27 weeks later... here I am! This week had some good runs, and is showing good mileage. Body wise- heres what I'm noting:

- still twisted, maybe less?
- right calf feeling great
- crazy tendinitis in left lower leg
On a scale of 1- 10, ten being Horrible Pain, and 1 being a normal day, I'd say my left leg is a 7.
- My runs are getting faster and stronger...
- I'm trimming down, but still carrying a lot of excess weight.
