    It's been 2 weeks since my little accident and 2 weeks of no running. I decided to try a little more this morning and ended up running 2.5 miles taking 1 minute walk breaks every 2 or 3 minutes of running. 10: 25 pace. It felt pretty good. It did start to tighten up a bit just before each walk break but didn't seem to be to bad after the run. I may try a little more tonight if it still feels good.

    Then I went for a 20 mile mt. bike ride offroad. It felt pretty good after yesterdays ride and just wanted a good recovery ride. I actually ave. the same MPH as yesterday but my HR averaged 135 after yesterdays at 148. It was all about the wind and the 2 big climbs yesterday.

    PM   I wasn't feeling any pain from this mornings run so I went for another. I feel a slight pain while running and feel like I have to stride carefully. I went 3.2 miles at sub 10 min. pace. Whahoo! I did walk breaks of 3 min. running 1 min. walking. I don't think I could go much faster or much farther between walk breaks but I could probably do more total distance but decided to play it safe. The last thing I need now is a step backward in my recovery.
