Chalk up another mile

And another mile down! After a Les Mills Combat workout, I thought today would be a great day for another run. 1 mile in 8:26. Now time to get cleaned up and cheer on the Brewers.

One of the songs I sometimes run to, is "Never Going Back To OK" by the Afters. It reminds me and gets me thinking how I used to think I was "ok", but that was when I was at a fitness and weight level I never want to go back to. Maybe it will inspire you :)

Back at it

Made a 1 mile run today. Well, if you get technical about it, I ran 2 feet past a mile. It felt good. Nice warm, sunny morning. No pain in my foot. Still up in the air about the race in September, but I have time. I may just take the time to improve and get ready for Bolder Boulder and let this one pass by this year. I don't know yet, just have to see how things work out and how I feel.

1.61km, 8:29, 5:17 average pace.

Easing back in

Well, I'm easing back into my workout routine. Did most of Combat 60 today, and felt good. I'm sure I'll feel it in the morning. Slowly taking my time, but I'll be back into things in the next week or two. Hoping to start back with some light running in the next couple of weeks. Only time will tell how things shape up in the next couple of months. I am hopeful, but not counting anything in or out.

Part of my workout had a song in it. A song that's one of those great 90's one hit wonders. Surprisingly got me fired up.

A setback

Well, I've encountered my first setback. The other week, when I went on that epic run, I did something not so good to myself. Did something not so great to one of my feet. For the last week and a half, I've had this super sexy boot on my foot. I saw the doctor yesterday, and nothing is broken. But I did cause some strain on the tendons an bones. For the next couple of weeks, I just need to take it easy, no running. While my initial response to just having the injruy was "I don't care, I'll let it heal and I'll run regardless what they say", I've backed away from that a bit. I should be fine in a few weeks, and be able to run in September. I am feeling a bit more cautious however, and I'm a bit uncertain. The other day I was very much set on dropping out. But I think I'm just going to hang in a limbo status until I know for sure what I can and cannot do. It's still almost 2 months away. Lots of time to recover, get strong, and make a final decision. I appriciate all the support I have gotten, and will keep everyone posted as things develop.
