I live in upstate NY. I am the oldest of four kids. I've been running since the spring of 2003 when I decided to shed some extra weight and maybe go out for my high school cross country team. Currently am doing MS in Education. Hope to teach Social Studies one day. I have the most amazing girlfriend ever, and she frequently goes running/jogging/hiking with me. Going to marry her one day :) |

11:00 AM - "Taking steps in the right direction" ... . I went for an easy walk on the treadmill because it's cold and snowy outside. Did light stretching before and after. Felt really good. Took out the last half of the heel lift this morning and was just "testing the waters" to see how the achilles felt. It felt great. Did not push it and was monitoring for pain, and didn't feel any. Granted this isn't running, and the test will come later next week when I start to do a slow couple minutes of jogging. We'll see how it goes. But, this is good. Good progress and long awaited. Now the key is not to push too hard to deminish the risk of reinjury!

9:00 AM - One step at a time. Slow and steady. I can do this.
With temps projected for 40+ degrees 5 days in a row with no storms, this week will be a good week for walking :). Did a very easy walk today and it was crazy how fast it went. While I am definitely biased towards running, I can live with walking. It's progress, and still 'steps' in the right direction (literally). Slow and steady, monitoring how I felt. No pain at all, though I might put the heel lift in today when walking around campus, as I have to take 4 flights of stairs up and down to class. Might be a smart decision. Great races everyone at Moab! I'm looking forward to everyone's spring race reports!!

9:30 AM - Did a nice 1 mile walk @ 17:42 pace, and then decided to gently "test the waters". It worked nicely. Did a .25 "shuffle jog" @ 15:00 /mile pace. This is huge progress for me, and the first time I have tried to do a run in about a month. Then cooled down with .5 miles
Total Time: 30:16 Total Mileage: 1.75 miles Average Pace: 17:17 / mile
Think I might take tomorrow off. I have done 6 days in a row. I think duly earned! Come on recovery!

11:00 AM - So I know it's my day "off" but I got my new issue of Runner's World, and I felt really guilty about gaining so much weight in the last two months, so I refused to just take a day off. Decided to go nice and easy. Did a mile of walking, and then my 15:00 pace "shuffle" (this time did it for .34 miles in 5:00), then a .65 mile cool down. Felt good and pain free. Probably tomorrow = the day off and then sometime this weekend going to try for a 7 or 8 minute "shuffle" or maybe 2 x 4 min at same pace.

9:30 AM - Walked a mile in 17:40, then decided to pick it up a bit and do my "shuffle-jog" routine: today I was able to do .5 miles in 7:08 (14:16 pace) with no pain. Cooled down with a .57 mile walk.

9:00 AM - Went for a walk before having to get ready for work. Did my normal slow mile "warm up". First mile in 17:39; then decided to do my "shuffle" a little longer today. Ended up doing .75 miles in 10:36. (14:08 pace!) Longest "jog/run" in a long time. No pain at all. Afterwards, eased into a nice walk again to finish out the morning outing.
Total Time: 35:03 Total Distance: 2.15 miles Average Pace: 16:18 /mi

11:00 AM - Went walking with Emmy. Found a nice little nature trail, and though it was wet and a lot of ice on the trail, we really enjoyed ourselves. Then went walking around Stockbridge, Massachusetts where everyone was so friendly - that cozy small New England village feeling. During the nature trail run, I did a slow "shuffle" 1.01 miles in 14:29, though the second half was arguably faster between 12:20 and 12:30 per mile pace. No pain at all yesterday or this morning. Feeling great!
