1 miles in 8:01, HR 171.  Sunny and warm (60F).  After my return from 2 weeks vacation touring Greece and Turkey, I returned to a new PT plan which involves attempting a very gradual return to running (3 days/week, 1 mile/day), resetting the allowable pain threshold from none (old plan) to some (new plan).  The pain was reduced following 2 weeks of no stretching or other PT work aside from all the walking/hiking/swimming.  Today's mile was okay....I felt completely uncoordinated and didn't dare look at my HR for what felt like a reasonable pace, but it was a run in beautiful weather so I can't complain.  Here's hoping the *new* plan works!

1 mile in 8:00, HR 175.  Sunny and warm (~65F).  A tiny bit less uncoordinated and little pain running.  The pain came in stretching afterwards.

1 mile in 8:02, HR 177.  Sunny and warm (61F).  My heart is working overtime even at this "easy" pace.  Some minor pain but nothing significant during the run.  Some pain during side plank and metronome exercises afterwards, and definite pain during the butterfly stretch.  

This week I'm running 4 times, with Wed/Thurs back-to-back run days, to see how things go.  If it works okay, next week I'll run 3 x 1.5 miles.  Excitement abounds!

1 mile in 7:51, HR 170.  Sunny and warm (~70F).  8 minute walking warmup with some light stretching, the run, and then into my PT appointment.  Everything felt pretty much the same.....little pain while running, moderate pain while stretching.  But I am getting a better range of motion from my adductors, so that's something.

1 mile in 7:44/mi, HR 177.  Warm & sunny (72F).  Today's run felt good....form coming back a little at a time.  Focusing on keeping my knees straight and apart is helping keep the rest of the chain (hips, legs, ankles, feet) in better alignment.  Monday's run is 1.5 miles....yeehaw!
