My PFT was today so I had to run, and it's not in me to take it easy and run the minimums so I ate a handful of ibuprofen and left for the gym.

I did the pushups and situps (I always max out situps but actually did not get max points for pushups this time; I usually do) then got in a quick warmup and ran the 1.5 miles on the indoor track since it was raining.  I hate the indoor track because it's 3 laps for every quarter mile and you're almost constantly in a turn.  Anyway, I knew I was out of shape but thought 10:00 might be possible (6:40 pace).  I ran a 10:08 (laps 1:39, 1:43, 1:43, 1:45 [6:50 at the mile], 1:42, 1:36.  So, maybe saved a little too much for the end but I did pretty good for the shape I was in.  I think I'm about a 9:45 runner when in the shape I was in for my half-marathon.

My hip actually feels ok with the 800mg of nsaid working on it.  We'll see about this afternoon.

Glad you got through it and did pretty well. Now rest up so you can get back out there in a few weeks!

Good job! I bet you would have run 9:45 if you were outdoors and not twisting around a track--that's a small track and definitely had to be a speed killer.

Thanks, I think those 72 turns definitely had some effect but I was still out of breath pretty soon! My guess is that I'm back to running in a week or so, even being overly cautious.

Vinh, yeah I knew that - why do you think I picked AF! We sit in chairs all day...
