I also added some variations on my core exercises without pushing too hard of course.
It was good but I really want to get back to running. I will see how my Achilles tendon and knee feel like tomorrow but I might go for a 'short' jog with my wife. I must be disciplined and keep it short and easy!
Thanks for all the encouragement, it really helps.
Exercises I did today:
3 sets of 20 tri-cep press
3 x 2 minutes on grappler (rope pull)
3 sets of 12 lat pull-downs
3 sets of 12 shoulder press
3 sets of 12 shoulder press
20 x oblique crunch each side
20 x crunch
3 x 1 minute plank (including single leg and single leg abduction variations)
2 x 45s side plank
Janathon mileage is still 140 miles but my overall fitness is improving :-)

sounds like a grand day. i went food shopping rather than the gym, since I skipped lifting yesterday. I was pleased to be able to lift heavy packages easily.
Nice work! I've been doing a lot of cross-training myself, especially in regards to the upper body and core. It's amazing how quickly you can get stronger in these areas. Two months ago, I couldn't manage ten full push-ups or 100 crunches in a row. Now, I can do that and more...which is saying something at my age!
I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Just remember to take it easy as you work your way back into running. I know that YOU know that, but if you love running as much as I do, you know it can be hard to hold back when you're returning from injury. Take care!
Chris: I'm not very fond of food shopping, it seems to sap all strength out of me - harder than a workout!
Erin C.: 100 crunches sounds very good. I will try to return to running slowly, it's not easy though. Thanks Erin.
