Today was definitely not a high mileage, high intensity or high anything kind of a day. 

My ankle and heels have felt really good all weekend.  So onto another "running day".

3 min walk

Wowzer, I feel out of shape.  I still feel clumsy, slow, and mostly out of shape.  I had a few minutes after the run/walk till I needed to be home.  I was planning on doing the elliptical, but opted for stretching.  It was probably the best part of the workout.  I need to get back into the habit!

That is great your feet are feeling okay. You will feel back to your old running self in no time!

It won't take long, now that you are running! Glad everything feels well.

From RAD on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 16:33:50 from 67.172.229.125

YAY! Congrats on the no pain and increased running - stretching is GOOD!

I can understand the out of shape thing, you think you keep up cardio, but the running still seems harder than it used to be! Crazy!!

You will get your groove back in no time. You are an awesome runner and your body will remember that. You will be be back to your speedy self real soon. Keep up the good work.

Are you going to the pool tomorrow? 5:15?

I would opt for stretching, too!!! Nice run, it will come back to you quick----I PROMISE!

You'll be back in no time.

You may feel clumsy and slow, but at least your back doing it! :)

From Toby on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 00:15:06 from 216.194.124.36

Thanks all for the encouraging words.

I just hope I don't take a spill on the TM and get road rash on my face (do you get road rash from a TM) ;)

From Smooth on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 00:32:04 from 174.23.198.220

HooRAY for the increased running!!! I am 100% certain that you'll be back to your speedy self in no time. Road rash on the TM, NOT a chance! :)

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 10:54:22 from 98.177.220.145

Mill rash?
