Well, this week should have been more, but it was due to our race on last Saturday. I am happy that I didn't have any leg issues with six miles. Next week I am going seven miles.

I ran the loop at Greenland today as I was setting out the signs for tomorrow's race. I didn't want to run 8M, but I really had no choice as it was too wet to ride the loop. Plus, I knew that i wouldn't run tomorrow because of the race (or probably Sunday for that matter). So I thought it would be better to go a bit longer today as long as my leg didn't start to hurt.
I felt pretty good for he first 3 miles or so, but after that, the long climb started to get to me, as did the snow and mud still on the trail. I was stopping every once in a while to snap a photo of the course or to put out the arrow signs, but not for very long at each place.
Once I crested the saddle at 5M, I felt fine running back to the shelter. I didn't have any problems with my leg at all, just lack of fitness taking its toll. I usually run this loop in just over an hour on an easy run, so I definitely took it very easy today.
I will most likely by on my feet all day tomorrow, so I will not be running my normal Saturday/Sunday combo this week. I probably will have no desire to run on Sunday either, since we will need to unload everything and get the Uhaul trailer back on Sunday. So I will resume my running on Tuesday, which should give me ample recovery from this run and the race on Saturday.

4 Miles / 32:00I went down to Highlands Ranch and ran the Heritage 5K just to have some fun.
Week Total: 16 Miles / 2:05:26 (7:50/mile)
Overall, I felt good this week. I know this is not very many miles, but after being injured for so long, it is good to be able to run four days a week and not deal with pain. Next week I am bumping the four days to 5 miles each day.

I started running again today. I was only going to go 2M, but because I had no pain at all in my calf, I went 3M. I have decided I am only going to run 4 days a week (Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat) to give my leg a rest day in between. That will make Sat and Sun the only back to back day. If I can go a few weeks like this w/o pain, then I will start to add a very short 3M run on the off days. Let's cross our fingers that i can get back into again since the trails have dried out near the house!

I had no pain in my calf today, but it was a little tight, so I stretched it like crazy after the run (along with everything else). My wife has suggested I start a stretching routine after every run since I have pulled so many muscles in the last few months.

I think I may have found a better way to ease back into things. Take M,W,F off hopefully will allow me to get back into running without getting hurt again. I have also started a stretching routine that takes about 15 minutes. I am trying to do it every day and on the days I run i am doing it right after running. On M,W,F I am also going to the gym and either doing a core class on the ball or lifting weights. I might add a bike ride at the gym if I don't do the core class, just to help increase my aerobic capacity, since it is so poor right now.
