Personal:

I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.

5.5 with Pat this morning.  Gave us a good chance to catch up on things as I could talk about Boston and he could catch me up on how he's feeling following surgery.  We were crawling along but at least we were moving. Haha.

4.8 at 8:40 pace.  A little bit quicker than I've been running since my return but the legs still feel a little fragile, especially the knees.  I think I'll stick to the every other day strategy for a while. Hopefully I''ll bounce back quickly as I hate not running with the beautiful spring weather.

3 miles in and my head gets a bit swimmy, if that's a word.  I've felt like this before but usually during a long run where I've run out of energy.  Long hard day of working in a crawl space followed by my run definetly depleted the glycogen store I'm working on building back up. More FOOD!

5 miles with Pat after work.  My first back to back following Boston.  My legs are feeling pretty good but I'm still struggling with my energy level after 3 miles or so.  The spring weather is making it tough to not go out and run longer but soon enough.
