The Next Step

It was a pretty nice day around 60.  I did 18 miles on the bike and kept the speed up the whole way so was a nice workout.  So far the leg feels fine on the bike.  Tomorrow will be a week since I ran last.  Will have to decide when to start back running soon if I have any chance at the marathon in Dec.

18 miles in around an hour.

First day back from 8 days off to try to heal my hamstring.  It has been feeling good but hard to tell what is going to happen when I start training again. I am trying to run a marathon the first week of Dec so I have to get started again if I have any chance of completing that.  

It was a cool (45) but nice morning. I did some stretching and warmup to loosen the hamstring before I started.  I felt good the whole way and no issues at all with the hamstring.  The real test will be when I build back up.  I will have to be pretty aggressive building up because of the marathon in Dec. Just ran an easy pace and plan on increasing slowly to ry to get back to normal running next week.

Second day of the comeback. Ha. It was cool (41) with some wind.  I felt pretty good.  My legs actually were a little sore from yesterday and that is sad since I only ran 3 miles.  A long way to go to get ready for a marathon in a month.  No problems with the hamstring so I was excited about that.  Just took it easy the whole way.  I will try to take it slow to get back my to normal mileage.
