My IT band issues haven't flared at all on this weeks 4 mile jaunts! I'm going to keep it easy and do some more short runs like this and then if all things feel good, do some gradual build up. I'm way out of shape right now.
9 weeks of basically no running really tested my patience. |

Nice & dark run around town after work. It started to rain 3.5 miles in...... I can't wait to get back into some sort of running shape again.
Running in the daylight is so much better. |

Nice daytime run! I felt good on this jaunt today.... started slow (8:03) and ended less slow (6:42). Maybe I haven't lost all of my fitness. Perfect temperatures in the low 40's today in Acton MA.

This was a post-work run..... around my place of employment. I need to do some more exploring because the main roads are boring.
I almost forgot.... I turned 39 today. Holy Crap! |

A nice run in the dark around my neighborhood and the surrounding hoods. I wish that I could have gone longer, but dinner was being cooked.
Saucony Mirages are on the way! I'm looking forward to them..... super green ones! Thanks Jake K and runningafterbabies for the input! I love it when runners drop the knowledge!

Beautiful weather outside........ 40' degree temps with partial sun. My severe IT band issues seem to be something of the past. The knee still feels a little off, but I'll take whatever I'm given these days :)
The Old Acton Town Hall below...... it's a little over a mile away from my house. I can't tell you how many times I've run past that building.... in either direction. It's beautiful inside too, my girls took a Yoga class in the top section a couple of years back.

I got home from work and my new Saucony Mirage 2's had arrived! It was pretty much dark out, but there was no mistaking the neon green & blue kicks on my dogs! They felt amazing and I probably pushed a little too hard for the first go around. I'll have to ease in to them since there is so much less of a drop in them compared to my Mizunos.

Freezing cold run.... even with all the layers.
It's in the high teens, but the wind chill makes it comparable to single digits. The weather has been wacked this winter.... just a couple of days ago high 40's and then a day or two later a 20 degree swing downward.
There's a saying in New England..... "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it will change". |

Lunch time @ work. I went across the street to the gym and ran on the treadmill. Uneventful. Ridiculously cold outside. |

It is the coldest day in two years according to the local news..... I think it was 2 degrees when I got it my car and drove to the gym. (4:15am) I ran 5 miles on the treadmill and thought I was the first person there, until about 3 minutes into the run, an old man who resembled Santa came out of the bathroom. Needless to say, I was a bit shocked and wondered how long he had been in there. The lights in the gym are all on sensors, since it's a 24hr facility and the place was completely dark when I arrived. Another thing is..... there aren't any showers at this gym, so what was Santa doing in there?
I was happy when a couple of other fellas arrived minutes later..... crazy Santa!
