One Day Closer to Running Again

In retropect I should have taken a day off once in a while. Now I've had to take several days in a row. But I'm not running again until I'm close to 100%. It's killing me but I still feel I can get a PR in Chicago if I'm smart about my training for the next month and a half. Today I did 60 minutes on the ellpitical trainer (just over 7 miles) and lifted weights for about 20 minutes. I still stretch twice a day and I use heat and cold (today cold felt best) on my legs. I've been able to do more push-ups lately so something has improved. Tomorrow I may take the day off again and then Saturday morning go for a RUN!!!
