4.25 total miles on my feet but only 2.50 miles running.

Did the run in sections of 1.0, 1.0 and 0.50 miles. Felt like I could have done a bit more but now that I feel as though I can run without knee pain I don't want to be foolish and ramp up the miles too quickly. Didn't mean to cover the 4+ miles total distance yet ended my run a bit too far from the hotel.

1.87 total miles. Just 1.0 mi jogging.

Today was more about confidence building than any real workout goals. Today and yesterday marking the first consecutive days I have ran any distance in quite some time. While it seems that my knee is able to take the workouts I don't want to ramp up the mileage too fast. So this week will probably see several short runs and just one or two days above a mile.

Still, I'm thrilled.

It was hot and humid tonight in Orlando. Also a bit scary since it was decidedly dark by the time I got out for the run. Pushed it to reach the 1.50 mi mark before stopping as my calves were awfully tight but I wanted to prove to myself that it was doable. Slowly building up to the point where I can run the 5K nonstop.

Tomorrow will be another light day if I run at all.

Did an out-and-back run along Alafaya Trail this afternoon. A bit chilly for shorts and tech shirt while I was running into the north wind. Which proves a good point that in the winter I should always take long-sleeved running shirts and tights on a trip, even if it is headed someplace known for warm weather.
