Fianlly started running again! My dad went next to me on his bike, but we still went slow. No pain whatsoever in my legs! I told myself not to look at my watch, because it dosen't matter how fast i'm going right now. I need to just get out and run. I still checked my watch a few times though. At the end, 3.69 miles at a 7:54 pace. Not bad for a first day back after 6 weeks. At a few points (when flat), I was going at a 6:30 pace without even realizing it! Stretched for a while afterwards. I know that one of the reasons I've had problems with my knee and anlke is because of lack of stretching. At PG I would do around 30-40 miles a week and stretch well every day. At LP' through out the summer and the season I was doing between 40-55 miles a week with little or no stretching. I need to get back into the habit of stretching well, and sticking to it.
