Friday night, I made it past another hurdle in return to running..... I ran 5 miles. Longest run in over 6 months. This has made my weekend and to think back to March, I was thinking that I may never be able to run again, and now I am back up to 5 miles. I am still only running on a track, but on July 1st, I will make my first run on streets, this will be a short run, no more than 3 miles. My pace so far is not so bad, I am running sub nines so far. To think, I only have 21.2 miles more to go to… Continue

Yeah!! I ran 3.25 miles today, and it felt great. It was my longest run since January 19th before I reinjured my achillies. I can not believe it has been that long since I have been able to run. This also marked my first time that I have been able to put back to back runs together, which was a a test. I ran 2 yesterday. I am only running on a track at this time and will only run on a track unitl I hit the 5 mile mark and my time is not where it was when I hurt myself. I ran today at a 9:02 pace.… Continue
