Today marks the beginning of a new running chapter for me. I ran a tenth of my last run about 2.5 months ago. Slow and steady!

Since my last run (and subsequent injury) a lot has happened:

- I finished my first year of teaching- I survived!

- Clarky poo has turned from an adorable baby boy to an obnoxiously-stubborn toddler puppy.

- My knee's swelling went down and I finally stopped limping about 6 weeks later.   

- I didn't get my knee looked at. I am sure I will regret this but I feel as though it is too late now.  I just got too caught up in the end of the semester. If it happens again this training session I will go right away.  

- My brother got uncomfortably close to my family 5k record.  It is only a matter of time, but I would like to be in the condition to fight for it!

So now I start from scratch again.  Here goes nothin'!

Clarky- 1.5 miles.  And he felt that extra half mile.  It is great to be running again, but wearing out the puppy is probably the biggest benefit.
