Sometimes as I go for a run I feel like a sight! Some old fellow shuffling along, trying to run but looking like anything but a runner! A slogger? Today, even with the heat and hills, I felt like my old self....I really felt like I was running again! It's been a long journey with the Achilles tendinitis and the ankle issues. Today I finally put my toe in the water so to speak, I am coming back to the world and wonder of long distance running. I actually ran for 1 hour! I was careful not to let loose on the downhills, yet. I did take all the hills though!
I put up some of the best mile splits yet, too,with a 9:35 second mile! So today I was a runner! I am encouraged yet cautious. With the goal of 25-26 miles this week I am well on my way with the 5.9 today! Hope your run was half as good as mine! Peace!
