First run since R2T100

RUN!!! 2.4 miles in 24 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles

OK, the first real run since R2T. Jogging across intersections doesn't count, and although I did some short run intervals while walking at home over the Turkey holiday I'm not counting those either.

YAY!! There's some residual tightness low across the tibia, on the google images that is where the tendon and/or muscle cross from the medial leg to the lateral. In the past few days I only notice that tightness when driving and pushing for full dorsiflexion. It's not painful at all, just tight. Like things need to loosed up a bit more. So hopefully that doesn't turn into a problem as I build miles.

I'm thinking my first week back to running won't have more than 10 total miles, if that!

The Turkey holiday was wonderful, aside from the fact that it feels like I sat most of the time. Driving there and back, errands into town, visiting, all seated. I did 30-40 min walks each morning in which I'd throw in short jogs, and I did aim for about 30 mins of "moving" as either stretching or strength training. Not really "training"....

This morning: Just under 50F, calm, and sun not up yet. It rained yesterday and the ground was still wet, the aroma of rain still in the air. I pulled on my capri tights, yellow windbreak jacket, and blue Adrenalines -- all gear I last wore at the race. I put my watch on, it still had 26 hours and 19 minutes on it. I noted it was the 29th, same day R2T started. It's also a new moon tomorrow, just like R2T. As I stepped outside a train horn sounded, like I heard race morning...

Soooooo happy to be back at this :)
But not pulling out a race calendar just yet!
