I'm just starting back running after my achilles injury.  It is feeling much better, but still gets a little sore.  I've run a few times, and it doesn't seem to get worse, but easy does it.

Right now I am goal-less, except for trying to get back to working out consistently.  My husband has been out of state for 3 weeks, which made it difficult to get out and work out.  Thank goodness for the child care at my health club, or I don't know if I would make it out at all.  Needless to say, this is not the fall I planned on having.

I'm not sure where to go with my running, now.  I guess I'll just take it one day at a time, and focus on being healthy.

I ran 5 miles on the treadmill this afternoon, and pondered why the guy sweating all over the elliptical chose to wear khaki cargo to work out. 

After my run I did 3 sets of 15 eccentric calf raises.  Then, I headed into the gym to do 1-legged squats on the stability disc, which resulted in some dirty looks from two burly neanderthals looking to shoot some hoops.

So, I start ramping up the running again, and immediately come down with a cough.  I felt better today, though, so it's not serious.   I went to the health club and ran for half an hour on the treadmill.  Then, I got on the elliptical until the lifting class started.  I took a Body Pump class, and quickly realized how out of shape I really am.  My muscles were shaking after the warm up.  It is definitely time to get back into the swing of things.
