I was awakened by the sound of Muslim prayer music coming in my hotel window this morning. A strange way to be reminded I'm not in my own bed. 

I really want to go for a run along the river, but I'm going to try and give myself time to heal while in Istanbul, so I went to the hotel gym and did 1 hour on the elliptical.  Hopefully I will have time to do 2 a days in the gym just to keep cardio up.

Officially in to St. George Marathon, and Ryan finagled his way in as well.  Time to get better so I can tear it up.  5 months to get ready, should be fine.

 

P.M.

45 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes of weights.

Apparently Muslim prayer time at the Mosque was at 4:43 this morning, so needless to say I had extra time in the gym this morning.

90 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes of weights and stretching.

P.M.

30 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes of weights.

I finally caved in and made an appointment with a sports medicine doctor when I get home, I seriously would have done it earlier but I've only been in the United States about 3 weeks out of the last 2 months, and 2 of those I was in New Orleans, so practically out of the country then too.  I sure hope he can do something, cause I'm really sick of this.

A.M.

75 minutes elliptical, 25 minutes weights.  I'm feeling fatigued like I've been running a 70 mile week, so that must mean I'm simulating something with all this cross training.  Hopefully it's something good.

I've been watching the Eastern European MTV while ellipticaling, man those Russians really know how to make running music.  I'm going to have to get myself an Eastern European Techno music CD for my next marathon.  I have no idea what their saying but it sounds like "Run faster, Run faster, Da Da"

This site claims I can run a sub 2:30 marathon if I can somehow loose 30 lbs, and 14 years.  Both seem pretty hard to do, especially the time travel part.

A.M.

90 minutes on the elliptical.

Yesterday afternoon my co-worker and I took a cab to the Grand Bazaar, that place was crazy, (if you look up Bazar on Wikipedia a picture of the Istanbul bazaar that we went to comes up.)  Anyway, it took over 1 hour to drive 5 miles to get there so we walked back to the hotel in about the same time, my leg was killing me after that walk, that's no good.

Wow, I logged a grand total of 0 miles this week, I'm not going to rank very high on the mileage board this year.

P.M.

60 minutes on the elliptical.

Just to make me feel better about myself I went and calculated what I thought would equal ~ comparable running miles for the week.  I figured an average of 8 mph which is what I try to keep it at when I'm at home and it tells me some number, and I figured time wise that is pretty conservative for me since I tend to run my base treadmill miles pretty fast.  Anyway, I came up with 74 miles,  So that makes me feel better, as far as fatigue goes I actually feel like I did a 74 mile running week.
