So, I have suffered through a femoral stress reaction the last couple of months. The doctor told me it would take three weeks to heal. It took six. I've run a couple of easy build-up weeks, and now it is time to get serious again about training. Why do I always feel like I'm "coming back." If an injury doesn't set me back, then a baby does. (Of course, I would rather be recovering from childbirth than an injury. At least a baby represents my own choosing.)
I ran down to Millrace Park to the River Trail as a warm-up. I ran 12 x 1 minute on, 1 minute off. This took me off the trail, and onto 1300 West. I ran back to 5400 South, and then home for a cool down. The total time for my run was 44 minutes.
I enjoyed striding out a little bit. It's always tough trying to get the speed back. I know that longer intervals are going kill me. However, fartlek workouts always get me back into shape the most quickly.
