8 Miles Easy - 1:14:00 - 9:15 Pace
Hit the treadmill today at he Ramada in located in High River, Alberta right near Calgary. I started a little late, 9:30 here in Alberta time, 11:30 Michigan time. SO I was a bit tired. The run was good, only issue was that I had some pains in my right knee, pains like the ones that stopped me from running....cannot tell if that was it......or if it was just pains. I have had pains before that worried me. We shall see.

Felt good today even after a night of watching the Spartans, drinking and eating. My legs are starting to get stronger, and my lungs and...well, expanding I guess. I will have to work my long run in next week sometime in Canada.

The first half mile of my first outdoors run in forever felt great, it was good to be outside. I did pick the wrong day however, instead of 50, like it had been, it was 35....a bit chilly. It did feel a little awkward to be running forward instead of in place. I think at about 1.25 miles, I finally started feeling the ground flowing under my feet, instead of pounding on them. Shortly after that though, I started to feel gassed, one because my lungs were struggling in the cold, two because I started out way too fast. A common mistake I make with that first outside run of every year. I also had some pain in my left quad, I think maybe because I was favoring my right knee and leg a little. Looking forward to my legs feeling good tomorrow, and more outside runs.

Longest run of my return today,8 Miles. It was really tough cause my legs were beat up after climbing and jumping around on conveyor all week 12 hours a day...but it felt good to get this many miles in. Want to go faster though.

Was thinking about running 8 miles today, but leveler heads prevailed...and my quads were done. Another good feeling run, knee was good....just gotta get the muscles back in shape. Started drinking choc milk again for recovery.

No worries today, I was worried about the soreness I had on Wednesday, but I felt good, and three miles of tempo running, I really surprised myself. Next week I begin actual training, I am going to keep the same pace of extending distance and speed, just with a little structure.

My legs were pretty sore today, after my first Tempo run last week and then 7 miles on Monday, they were begging for a rest. My knee was a little sore too, no more sore than I have felt before on this comeback attempt, but it still worries me...it always does. I may not run Friday, wait till Saturday, and I may not run a Tempo when I do...depending on how I feel

Started today's run knowing I was doing 6 miles, but with 7 on the mind. about 3/4 of a mile into the run, my left leg started going numb, actually, it started at my foot. I think my shoe was tied too tight. I have had that before, just been a while. Legs felt good though, not overly sore, or tired. I did get a few pains in my knee the last mile, familiar pains, but I have had them since I started running again, so I am not too worried, just aware. The numbness in my leg went away with about half a mile to go. We shall see how I am feeling in the AM
