Well, yes, I suppose I am "back".

It finally seemed like my knee might allow me to run further than 2 miles. I have only ventured over the 15 minute mark running two times since mid January and I was hoping I wouldn't exceed that by too much today.

What have I been doing the last three months? All will be shortly revealed, but suffice it to say that this entire week I have been woefully, pitifully sore and today was really no different.

I did a very brief warmup on the trails near the start to get shelter from the wind, but I'm not sure that really hurt me. I think the biggest factor in my poor performance today was the extreme fatigue in my calves. I felt great the first half a mile or so, but my calves got tired at about that point and I had to shorten my stride up. I gradually lost the main pack and slipped back through the field but I didn't lose too much ground all things considered.

Mile splits were 4:53 and 10:10, meaning that I ran somewhat like a high schooler, oh well.

After the race Allie and I went to the field house:

Hamstring 3*15 @90lbs

Quads 3*15@115lbs

Abductors 3*15@85lbs

Adductors 3*15@80lbs (felt weak today)

One legged Eccentric Leg Press 3*10 @ 160lbs (each leg,right glute sore)

Back 3*12 @45lbs

Internal/External Hip rotation 3*15 @ 20pounds (each leg)

Bridging with extension 15*(5secs each leg)*2 sets

Plank (Front/side/side) 90sec/60/60*3 (Last set alphabet+trunk twist)

Reverse Leg Raises 4*25 each leg

Soon! Sooon!
