2 week total: 17.5 miles running. I was on a Caribbean Cruise from December 21 to 28 and did manage to finally get back to some easy running. The left leg continues to be sore. If the pain level is 3 or less on a scale of 1 to 10, then I will try running. Usually it will get better after a mile or two. I feel a bit more sore than I did a week ago from the week of running, but also the travel day on airplanes and handling luggage takes a toll on the sore leg as well.

December 1 - 7 Training
Monday - 4 miles (9:58). Brixx run, but left leg was feeling quite sore.
Tuesday - No running. Diagnosed with left abductor strain.
Wednesday - 30 minutes elliptical.
Thursday - 75 minutes elliptical.
Friday - 1 mile walking + 30 minutes elliptical.
Saturday - 2.5 mile walking.
Sunday - 1 mile walking.
Total miles - 4 miles running, 4.5 miles walking, 135 minutes elliptical. Taking a pause from running to allow the left abductor strain to heal. A bit frustrating to be on the sidelines, but I don't want to rush back too soon and have it continue to be a problem. The focus has now shifted to the Boston Marathon where I want a healthy training cycle. I most likely will switch to the half marathon at Houston next month and only run that if I'm fully recovered. I am going to have to show some patience. The left leg feels a little better each day, but just slightly. I can still feel it just walking, so I will continue to walk and use the elliptical. Once it doesn't hurt walking I can ramp up the walking miles.
