Morning: Six miles early this morning - aquajogging to follow this afternoon.
Afternoon: I was pressed for time today, so I ended up running a few miles (4ish) rather than going through the hassle of aquajogging. I felt fine. | | Add Comment |

| Part I Today was my first workout since coming back. It was nothing too difficult, consisting of 6 x (1min on, 1min off, 30secs on, 30secs off), but it was enough to get some leg turnover. I haven't done anything this fast in three months, so it felt kind of foreign to my body. In all, though, I couldn't be happier with the effort. My leg did not hurt at all, and I felt like I was actually moving!!! Part II I am now beginning the "run to get fit" process. This past month prepared my body to run again, while using other means to provide aerobic exercise (aquajogging, elliptical etc...). A transition is taking place; I will begin to utilize running as my primary means of aerobic work. A good analogy is the "learning to read" process. Only after learning to read can one read to learn. That being said, I am excited to really get at it again - but this time I will work in a more cerebral manner. | | Add Comment |

| Easy run today out in the greenbelt. There was no pain in my leg, although I am tired from the last few days of work. I will sleep a lot tonight. I did a few lower leg strength exercises using elastic bands, too. | | Add Comment |

Today was my first real work of the season! I was assigned a tempo run consisting of 2x2miles with a minute of rest between intervals. I did the usual warm-up, then got moving. First mile in 5:06 - too fast. Not knowing what particular pace feels like (since I seem to have lost my "feel of pace" since my injury), I just gave it a moderate effort and churned up this time. Obviously, I was pushing a bit too hard for the first mile. Two miles in 10:30, then a minute of rest. This minute of rest seemed to do nothing but take me out of my groove. Very little recovery actually happened in this minute, but it did make the start of the next interval feel harder than if I wouldn't have taken a break. Next two miles in 10:43 (5:23, 5:20). These miles felt fine, and I was in control the whole time. When I did this workout last year, I remember that I ran the first mile way too fast (some things don't change haha :)), but the last three miles were miserable (5:35-5:40's at that). Today was very manageable, which is re-assuring for this seasons first workout. Last year, there was significant difference between my first & last AT runs (over the summer), so I figure this is a good starting point to improve upon (I am sure that within the first few workouts, my times will also be changing quite a bit due since my body is re-acclimation to running). Overall, this workout was a good re-introduction into medium paced running. | | Add Comment |
