Again, I walked the first and last 1/2 mile, so 2 miles of running.  I am quite sore becuase I did a 10 mile hike through Zion yesterday, carrying a heavy pack.  My legs didn't hurt while I was running, but before and after they did.  I will probably be sore for a few days.

Hopefully later this week I will increase miles.  My knee feels fine after the hike and the run today!!  YEAH!!!!!

Today I wanted to run all 3, so I started running right as I left my house but had to quit and warm up with walking the first 1/2 mile.  My legs are still sore from the hike.  My quads are sore from all of the downhill and my calves are sore from the up hill.  Or whatever, all I know is I thought I was in shape and after that 4 or 5 weeks of no running, I definately am not!! 

Anyway, ran 2.5.  The farthest at a time since my injury and I will run all 3 sometime this week.  It is a tough 3, lots of hills.  Good running!!  My daughter is happy to be going faster in the stroller and we are both happy that my mood has been better, even with the little running I have been doing.

It was quite windy today, so I probably only ran about a mile.  I ran twice and both times had to quit because it was to hard to go up a hill, pushing Anna in the stroller and running into a headwind. 

Happy to be outside though and slowly but surely getting back into running.

I RAN ALL 3 MILES!!!!!!  Yeah!!!!!!  It kicked my butt, and the whole time I was thinking "I remember when I hated running this route cuz it was only 3 miles".  How quickly we get out of shape.  That is depressing, but I will be back in shape and running like I was, when I am ready.  No pain in the knee and my legs aren't sore from the hike anymore.

Anna is very happy to be running again, she would get bored in the stroller when we were just walking.  She is very supportive for a little one, it is very cute.

Happy to be running again!!!!!!!

I ran all 4 this morning in Springdale, UT.  It is absolutely beautiful there.  I need to remember when I run there though, to run towards the park so that I can run downhill after I turn around, or find something that is not out and back.  The 2nd half absolutely killed me, I had a headwind and it was pretty much uphill!!  I am happy to have gone a bit farther this time again, all I want is to be where I was when I got hurt and that is hard for me, I feel like it is so far away.  It will come, I know that.  I just need to remember it.

Anyway, ran 4, felt good as far as knee and legs aren't sore anymore either.

Happy to be running again!!!

Today was a good walk with my mom and pushing Anna in the stroller.  Same 3 as always.  There is no better way to start the day then outside with a good walk or run. 

Happy to be able to do it!!!
