Back to running, so far so good

Thursday RUN 3.1 in FoPa
Saturday RUN 4 miles in neighborhood
Tuesday RUN 3.5 miles on track with 1 mile of walking
and COMMUTES here and there as I can

I'm back? Wow how many times have I said that in the past 4 years? 

I'm back to running but I haven't started the PT and strength training that I've promised myself I'd do.

And if I want to stay running, I need to do that stuff! I keep making my little lists of things I want to do for "tomorrow", and this needs to be on the list. 

Thursday LA and I ran the 5K with BE. I was supposed to swim afterwards, but there wasn't time. You'll note that there are no swims in my week, boooo. My goal was 2-3 miles, but doing a 5K was LA's idea and it felt great to be running!

Saturday while LA went to get the kids I did a neighborhood run. I was going to go for 4 miles to LP, but around the 0.6 mile mark in Benton Park my right ankle started hurting, like the bones were banging into each other, as if the ankle joint was out of place. No pain while walking, no pain in the first steps of running, then PAIN. I stretched, moved it, thinking it was popped out like it does in the pool -- but I'm not sure what started this and I don't know why in the end it just went away. I re-routed the run to stay closer to the house. This all felt good, but it felt weak and pushed a bit.

Tuesday I left LA behind with the kids and joined BE. I didn't plan on doing 3.5 miles but it felt great, easy, and NO PAIN. 

I don't know if I'll be running over the xmas break, maybe something on Thursday morning before we leave? 

I'm happy to be back, but I'm going to make the same mistakes again if I don't get stronger and do the PT!
