Run Derneld, Run!

3 miles on a very flat road at work today. Felt very good and the weather was great.

7 miles on the treadmill. Third PT visit later today. Strength exercises have done wonders!

Easy treadmill. The PTs assessment yesterday was very positive. She couldn’t find tension in any of the muscles that she found it in last week. I was given some more strength training routines to perform daily. This has been an amazing learning experience. What I thought were some small aches and pains that I’ve felt for years were actually all connected and are due to my lack of maintenance (strength training and stretching). I’m really glad I had these 3 appointments.

Limiting this week to very simple runs. This was the fastest I've gone since my legs went out of commission. 8:03 per mile. Now to enjoy a day at home.

Next week is my last week with significant time worked at home. Hoping to convert some of that commute time into some easier long runs. Also, I will try going back to the road.

3 easy before leaving for work.

3.24 on a very flat street at work. I've definitely been more tired and sore after simple runs like these. It's been awhile since I was like this. I had deja vu of one of my first 6 mile runs that I ever did. I was quite sore afterwards!

Light run on the treadmill. Feeling less winded during each run. Gradually restoring cardiovascular function that I certainly lost being away from running so long. Next week I'll try running on normal uneven surfaces (i.e. outside!). Still doing lots of strength maintenance daily. Focusing on specific motions that use the hips and pelvis.
