Every Run is a Great Run!

Had a nice 6-miler with Kim with about half in the sunshine. And no wind for a change so that was extra nice! My legs are slowly coming back and the back/hip felt pretty good today and better than Saturday so that is positive. Just gotta keep it nice and easy for a few weeks and enjoy the journey.

9:20/158 (come on HR! Get with the program!!)

Dang cold today! Especially with the wind chill factor. Ran 5 with Kim and that seemed adequate for today. Later went to the gym at work for 30-min XT plus some core work. Based on my ave HR today maybe I should count a few miles as Threshold instead of Easy.

9:25/165

Working at home today so waited until late in the morning when it was sunny and high 30's then ran 7 miles with Kim, mostly down in the river bottoms. Kim was doing some quarters so I hung back and kept it easy while she did her speedy stuff. 

Felt OK on this my longest run since before the injury. Still feel sluggish and out of shape but I know in time the legs will come back.  With the 3 days in a row running and this long run I'll take tomorrow off. The sun and temps were dandy today.

9:14/151

45 minutes XT (bike-20, stair-15, elipt-10) at the gym and some core stuff.

Lots of wet snow falling this morning and the roads were a sloppy mess, so we decided to sleep in and try our luck later.  Good move. We still got the wet blowing snow pelting us in the face but the roads were nice and clear if you could avoid the puddles.

This was my most enjoyable run since before the hip injury despite the snow. Starting to get my legs back and I think taking the last couple days off was a good move.
