Really encouraging run at the Y treadmill after work. Started slowly, but then felt a rhythm and worked my way down to a few 7:45 miles. Felt like I could have kept it up too, which is the good sign. No pain, good energy level.
Morning basketball, then 4 after work on the treadmill at a medium pace (slightly sub-8). We ran pretty hard in the morning, it was fun. Everything feeling good. I regret missing a Wednesday run, just too long of a day. Planning to come back with a longer Friday run, then go for 12-plus on Sunday.
Hit the treadmill after work (exciting Friday night!) and did another hour-long run. Felt good, found a nice rhythm but nothing fast. I'll try to get two of these each of the next two weeks, good confidence builders for some fitness and that I've built at least a little endurance.
