Tough run on the treadmill today, didn't think I was going to make it. Felt good when I was done though
10 Miles - 1:34:00 - 9:24 Pace
I felt much better today, my throat was till a little iffy, but it didn't slow me down to much. The legs felt good, no pain, other than the usual after a long run. About mile 8 my lungs did start filling up with fluid or something, and I started hacking, but I was able to get through. This was a big step with the Riverbank coming up, I had to get some work back in after that sick week I had.
1 Mile - 9:15 - 9:15 Pace
I have been sick as a dog since returning from Mexico, today is the first day I have felt even close to runnable. So I went to the gym and tried, about 3/4 of a mile in, my lungs said forget this and I started hacking up everything known to man...so 1 mile was all I had today.

I am pretty much guessing on all those times and distances, the treadmill in Cancun was in kilometers, so I started with a pace that felt like my normal running pace, and then jumped it up to a pace that I felt was an Interval pace........your guess is as good as mine. I did have a great view of the ocean while running though, the window in front of me was right on the beach, and the waves were just crashing in.
9 Miles - ?????? - 9:00 Pace????
My watch died on me about 1 mile into this run, so I am not sure how long it took me, I am guessing about 81 minutes. This run was tough, first time with all these big hills, on such a far run, on the hard sidewalks. Made it through, but my knees were sore, my hip flexors were really sore from the hills. Lungs were good though. I might not run again till this weekend, depending on how sore my knees are.
3.1 Miles - 22:06 - 7:08 Pace
First race of the year.......actually, first race in like a year and a half. Lots of jitters, butterflies and whatnot. It felt really good to be in the mix again. Wasn't sure how fast I was going to run, I was thinking 7:25 pace, but I had no clue, I haven't run faster than a 7:43 pace in forever. But, when we started, I just took a pace that felt good, and that pace started at 6:55. Mile two slowed that though with a few hills. But the last mile I finished pretty strong. It was a good indication of where I am at...which is no where, my lungs were struggling, and my legs were struggling, lots of work to do.
All in all, great day though.

Long run today, felt good, knee was a little sore, we shall see how that goes, I also started taking Glucosamine pills, I have heard that there is a lot of inconclusive evidence about it, but nothing harmful.....so I figured it's worth a shot.
Probably going to take the rest of the week off the rest the knee, got my first race in over a year ad a half on Satruday...yee haw.

The tempo part of my run felt really good, but I was burned out afterwards, and the last mile just wasn't there for my lungs or my legs
4 Miles "Easy" - 32:56 - 8:14 Pace
Another run outside today, and again I ran way too fast. I felt really good on this run, the hills were a little tough, not used to those, and my lungs struggled a little, but all in all it went well. The speed I ran at it was kind of a half tempo run.
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.
8 Miles Easy - 1:14:00 - 9:15 Pace
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.
3 Miles - 27:45 - 9:15 Pace
Only went three miles today, legs were feeling it from climbing around on conveyor and cranes all day.

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.
3 Miles Easy - 27:09 - 9:03 Pace
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
7 Miles Easy - 1:04:00 - 9:09 Pace
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
3 Miles Easy - 27:15 - 9:05 Pace
Pretty sore after Wednesdays Tempo run, the good kind of sore though. Hip flexors hurt, quads had a little sting every step...but the joints felt great.
