Back in the swing of things and back to the starting line


Saturday I resumed my usual long runs except this one really wasn't very long. It wasn't very easy either. My knee was still a bit sore from my fall and everything else was sore from a trip to the chiropractor the evening before. It was a slow 6 miler but despite that slower pace I struggled the last two miles. I felt as though I hadn't been running 10-12 miles every week for months. I understand that if you don't use it, you lose it but damn! That was quick! From the way I was feeling, I had serious doubts that I would ever get my mileage back up. I know I will but I don't like that it feels like I'm starting over. Hopefully, progress won't take me very long this time around.

Run: 6 miles @ 9:33
1 - 9:32
2 - 9:20
3- 9:17
4 -9:33
5 -9:50
6 -10:12

um yeah, those last two miles were ugly.
