I am taking off a few weeks from running to try and get over this achilles problem.  I have been biking and doing the elliptical but haven't blogged those.  Just kind of hard to get motivated when I am not running but here goes.

I did about an hour on the bike today for somewhere around 18 or 19 miles.  I felt pretty good.  I did about 3 x 2 min hard sessions as I went along to break it up.

It was raining this morning so rode the bike on the trainer today for one hour. I kept a pretty good speed the whole way and felt good.  Just kind of boring on the trainer.  Can't wait for some nice weather.

Honolulu, HI:  Traveled out here yesterday and was up early this morning because of the time change.  I am still taking off some time from running to see if I can get the achilles healed up.  I hated not to go outside while I am here but stayed in and did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the bike.  I pushed it pretty good and felt good but just hate not running while I am here.

Honolulu, HI:  Stayed in again today and did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the bike.  Felt good and pushed it pretty good. Really wish I was outside but trying to stay on course and see if I can get these injuries behind me.

Honolulu, HI: Same routine as yesterday.  Did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the bike.  I felt good and turned out to be a good workout.

Honolulu, HI:  Inside again today on the elliptical and bike.  I was a little tired this morning and felt like cutting it short but made it for an hour.  Glad to get something in everyday while I was out here.  Heading back home tonight and sad I didn't get to do any running outside while I was here but should be back in a few months and hope I am running then.

It rained most of the day but got a window so went out for a bike ride.  I made it 13 miles before the rain started coming down hard again.  It was good to get outside.  It is the first time outside in about 2 weeks.  I wanted to go longer but I guess you have to take what you get.

It was raining again today so stayed inside on the trainer.  I did an hour on the bike and felt pretty good.  I did just a solid steady ride today.  Nothing special.  Hope to be able to get outside tomorrow.
