Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Total Distance
1.00

Exactly two weeks off with complete rest.  Felt good to do something today.  Walked 1/2 mile around the track, 25 min elliptical, 6 min helix lateral machine, 1/2 mile more walk around the track.  The next few weeks I plan on doing some gentle workouts and try to stretch a lot and roll out problem areas.  Things are feeling improved, but there is still tightness/weakness on my right side.  Guess I'm not ready to run yet, but I know I will get there if I'm patient and careful.

Pm.  1.5 hours Relief Society Basketball.  Full Court, no subs.

You're back :)

You are being very smart with your injury issues. No reason to rush it, especially with this crappy weather.

Yup, I'm back. Sorta. Still need to get some things figured out before I can get back to being awesome. Patience can be so hard. But at least the weather is crappy, good point. Never thought I would be happy about crappy weather.
