PM - just about 5.5 miles after work on a very pleasant evening in ATL.  Feeling more and more like a runner again.

AM - a little over 5.50 miles on the treadmill.  Wanted to run more, and felt fine, but decided to stick with the gradual plan.  It is a little like wanting the extra piece of dessert, but knowing you may regret it later.

AM - 7 aerobic miles on the treadmill on a cool rainy morning in ATL.  I did not want to take the chance of slipping in the rain and potentially ending up with a tweak to the old injury - so I stayed inside.  Good run.  Felt a little fatigue in my legs afterwards, but not a painful/injury kind of fatigue, more related to adding mileage and my body gradually adjusting to the increased load.

AM - just a very easy light 4 miles this morning before work.  A wee bit sore to start, so figured it best to reduce the volume and the effort.  Made for a pleasant jog.

AM - 6.5 miles on the AlterG treadmill - continuing to see improvement both with range of motion/stregth and overall cardio fitness.  After 20 minutes of aerobic running at 70%HRR - I ran the next 25 minutes at tempo 75-80% HRR.  Was still at 70% of body weight (because the phyical therapy tech is pretty hyper about seeing anyone go above that) and my aerobic speed was 6:50 per mile - and the last 25 mins was at 6:30 pace.   Overall it would appear that I am at about 70% of my fitness from what I was prior to the injury.  It is really nice using that equipment because I can get some faster miles in, but my body doesn't feel as though it has done that type of a workout.
