2.27 miles @ lunch

First run since 7/22.... how I've missed you old friend. I kept waiting for something bad to happen within the first .25 but it never did.... thankfully.

I can't say that the lower left leg felt completely normal, but it's a good sign that I was able to go a bit more than two miles and stop on my own terms. I plan on slowly working back into it, all the while doing exercises to hopefully keep the injury at bay. 7:24 avg.

Theraband hip strengthening routine, stretching, and a almond milk, spinach, banana, blueberry, mango smoothie. After this I cautiously started my run & gradually gained confidence in the calf. 7:13 avg.

5:15am start. Nice & cool out. Lots of rabbits and a couple of people out. I think I crossed paths with a local speedster Kristen Lerra. Not much of an acknowledgement on either of our parts. I don't want to get too friendly with the competition :) 7:20 avg.

The wife and I were out the door at 5am this morning for a five mile walk. Sometimes you need to adjust the schedule.

I ran this with my little ladies. It was a combo of road & trails. Maggie was fine and Paige struggled a bit. She seemed to rally when I helped her calm down her breathing though. It also helped when I started asking Paige questions about Minecraft.... it took her mind off of the act of running.

5am - and away we go! First mile was 8:24.... setting a new land speed record on that one:) I picked it up after that and managed a low 7 minute pace for the next 5ish miles. I saw two deer at the 3 mile mark and spooked them good. It's amazing how effortless and fast they run.

8.63 miles - after work

First mile was a 7:48.  I picked it up after that when I had a rabbit on High St.  Dude in soccer shorts was pushing the pace and trying to fend me off.  I would have none of it and he set the tone for the next 7.63 miles..... I ended up tempoing them at a 6:48 pace.

I didn't get a run in yesterday because I was too sore from this........ yep, that's a 40 year old back flip right there.  Suprisingly sore after my niece's blowout birthday party at Sky Zone yesterday.

I would go back in an instant.  They had a trampoline dodge ball arena, where I happended to miss my target and hit my 8 yr. old in the face with the ball.  Dad of the year right here.  The trampoline to foam pit was also a blast.....

3.17 miles of spinal cord shakeout today.  7:23 avg.
