Hurt so good.

Ran for 20 minutes today, followed by 1 hour of physical therapy @WeberState

Knee is feeling better daily, and fitness is coming too. Acutally saw some 6:30 pace on the GPS today!

Overall just grateful for all my blessings in my life.

30 minute run on the TM!! Longest run since the IT band surgery! Knee felt great, didn't hurt, just a little inflammation after the run. 

34 minutes on the TM, again the knee is getting better daily. I feel that the beast that was a head of me is getting smaller and smaller. Hopefully in 4 more weeks the speed workouts will be on there way!

Man another successful run! I think the only thing that is hurting now is my lungs! Man is this what it feels like to run again? and I am not even at 60 minutes daily! Hope the breathing and muscle memory comes back soon.

20 minutes of running on the TM. Its time to start working in running to an everyday thing. Its going to be a process but glad that I can build and work back and hopefully get to where I was before.

Easy out and back on the Trails above Weber State.

North Ogden Loop. 

North Ogden Loop.

Knee hurt a little today, but managed! 

6.66 miles is how I felt the entire run. Felt like I was running through HELL!! Being out of shape sucks!

7:40 min/miles 

Man good to get out with the guys this morning. Solid group of runners, Ken, Bret, Bryant, Jon, Ortega. I got dropped after 2 miles but Jon was nice enough to stay back with me. Cant say enough how bad it sucks to be out of shape. Can't wait til running is enjoyable again.

Met up with Riley, Jace and Bryant at the 31st parkway. Guys were nice enough to hold back and take an easy day for me. Loved the company on the run, it has been way to long. 

Felt good today! First day that I actually felt runner again. Stride felt relaxed and efficient. Still have a long ways to go, but good to be out running.

avg pace 7:10 min/miles 

Ran with Jon from his house this morning. Started out climbing up to the canal rd. headed east for a bit then came right back. Legs didnt feel so good today. I have a feeling that my running will be up and down for awhile until I get my legs back and use to the daily mileage.

 avg pace 7:48 min/miles

Nice hot run in the mid afternoon!! Legs were feeling good today! Crazy how yesterday I can feel so crappy and heavy and today feel so good. Around 3.5 threw in a 5:38 mile split. I think this is the fastest mile I have ran this year. So good to see that I have some speed in my legs, hopefully my legs will come back sooner than later so that 5:38 pace will start feeling easy. By the way it is such a nice day!

Met with Jon Heslop today at my place to head out for our 7 miler. Did the usual normal loop up into North Ogden. Both of us were feeling pretty good today. First time since coming back from surgery that I wasn't feeling heavy on a 7 mile run, and Jon was saying the same thing. He had about the same time off as me due to excess fluid in his achilles tendon. We both decided that one more week at the daily mileage of 7 then next week we will bump it up to 8.

Met with Jon from his place. Headed east into North Ogden. about half mile in we saw about 8 deer and stopped and watched them for about a minute then went on our way. I made an well needed pit stop to hit the bathroom. From there headed east to the canal rd and made our way back west to the weber high track. There we did a 1 mile temp run, haha! Its all I am good for right now. Hit a 5:44 mile, then jogged back to Jons place. Another good solid run, and again no knee pain today, just minor inflammation still. I think that will subside in time.
