jog to campus rec, 5 smooth miles indoor in 36:23, long sprint back to dorm,
pushups throughout day
Legs felt pretty good on run... more so than I would have thought after doing the squats and lunges yesterday. My recovery seems to be doing well from day to day, most likely from the low volume of mileage I am currently putting in during the weekdays.

jog to campus rec, 5 EZ on indoor track in 36:30, jog back before 8 am class.
Woke up really refreshed and legs felt great on my run, but have felt a little sluggish in the time after. I do think I'm going to stick with the low mileage for awhile during weekdays. At this point I am pretty certain that I am going to go ahead and run the HM on 10/08, though I am not expecting a great performance as I am just coming back from the injury. I feel it would at least give me an oppurtunity to get a feel for longer races, and would be a new experience. I'll just have to try to not kill myself running it and bear in mind that I have long-term goals that exceed the need to run fast in a little local road race.

90 minute run
Hopefully Saturday I'll be able to extend my long run back out to two hours... kinda funny calling that a "long run" as I was doing that and more every single morning upon waking back in the summer. Still feel as though I'm just getting my legs back under me after my 3 week hiatus due to injury. Thinking about doing my first HM in two weeks... may treat it more as a training run though since I'm just getting back. Probably going to keep running mileage low during weekdays for the remainder of the semester.
Sleep was good last night. Aside from being able to do longer runs, my favorite part about weekends in sleep! Never realized how much I loved it til I went from being an HS kid to 19 semester hour freshman. Amazed at the time Makau ran in Berlin though! The human body is an amazing thing. I just wonder how much lower we can physically take the 26.2M time. 4:4x pace is ridiculous!
Hate to see that my man Haile may never have a chance @ OLympic Gold in the Marathon. Would've been a fitting conclusion to possibly the greatest running career in history.

90 minute run. Did lots of pushups throughout the day as usual.
Longest run since injury. Felt pretty good and explored some new areas around my college. Got a good night's sleep of 8 hrs. after watching Green Lantern at the University Theatre... pretty good movie for 2 bucks.

Welcome
AM Workout: 5 mile EZ run on indoor track before class. Lots of pushups throughout the rest of the day.
I am just back running for one week after coming back from a 3-week hiatus due to a lower leg injury. This was after completing the following weekly mileage leading up: 59-70-77-84-100-85-107-76-70-70. As suggested by the sports medicine doctor I was seeing, I asked one of the athletic/track dept. staff to help me develop a program that involves development of strength, flexibility, and stability exercises. This will be supplemental as I build my running mileage back up. I am going to try to steadily put on a little bit of lean mass through exercise and diet.
