Back to it...

I finally went running again. After just about 4 weeks off, i went on an easy 30 minute jog with a co-coach of mine last saturday. Except for the usual aches and pains from getting back into running, i felt ok. I went running an easy 20 min on tuesday and that felt pretty ok too. My knee doesn't seem to be bothering me yet, but we'll see what happens when my pavement pounding becomes more routine. I hope to get out again today for an easy 20-25 min.

I am being very cautious this time around. My base mileage last fall was obviously low and i didn't have the strength to keep up training at the intensity that i was going. I am really focusing on getting myself healthy and staying healthy through the year.

This week, in general, is pretty laid back. It is spring break and the pool is closed. No swimming. I haven't yet, but i want to get on my bike maybe once or twice this week too. It is generally a recovery week and i will be back to normal training, plus running, next week once school recommences.
