    Yea, yea, the blog has been pretty quiet. Well, so has my running. After that Monumental Half Marathon I managed to run a 10K in December, and I decided to let my leg heal. I had a sore spot about 1/3 up my shin, right on the inside edge of the bone. If I had…

    So Wednesday night we did six miles with the training program.  By the end of it, both of my shins were basically numb.  I averaged 9:12/mile.  That’s been my pace in the past, but I’ve been moving a little quicker recently and I was able to feel myself slowing down as I went. So I…

    I’m still slowly easing myself back in to running.  Tonight was a 25 minute run, and it’s just the second time that I’ve done that.  My legs are feeling a little sore from all the time off as my muscles get stronger, but it’s not pain like before.  I’ve been working out at the YMCA…

    So I haven’t really run for nearly four weeks.  I went to a physical therapy place that is attached to the YMCA.  I gave them the prescription and did my initial appointment, but, for some reason, they only scheduled me for 3 followup appointments.  I didn’t even get an appointment that entire week after Thanksgiving…

    I did the “short loop” around my neighborhood tonight – 3.5 miles, at about 8:45/mile pace.  I’m not too disappointed with that pace really, and my legs and feet felt pretty good.  Just taking it easy for the next week or so.  Planning on doing 5 miles on Saturday and then 6 miles the following…

    Went for a short 2 mile run tonight, and just 1 mile last night.  Trying to ease myself back in to things after all the time off while on vacation / remodeling my house.   And trying to avoid reinjuring my foot so that I can at least do the half marathon on November 6th.  My…

    With my lame foot and my work on tiling my house, I haven’t run or even exercised in a week.  So I got out this morning, before my body knew what was going on, and ran 3.5 miles.  It was nice and cool, around 50 I guess, which really helped me out.  My legs are…

  • Short run to test my foot

    I did a pretty slow 3.5 mile run tonight to test out of my foot.  I could still feel some tightness in my arch, but not nearly as bad as a week ago.  I’ll probably try to slightly increase the distance tomorrow and Sunday to see what happens.  I feel like I’m on the right…
