Rewind and go forward

I ran this morning! 

First time I've run since pulling my piriformis. I felt pretty good, was humid so I got a great sweat even at 5:40 am and even though I only did a little over 2 miles. Progress.


Progress, yet I am way back where I was last August when I began this whole running thing...


...today I started Couch to 5k for the second time

You see, I LOVED running when I was doing that program. I saw real progress with little injury. It was fun. I am sort of out of running shape from my break, so I swallowed my pride and said what the heck, let's get this started! 

It's 9 weeks, so that should be great, then I can really start to work on my 1/2 mary training for November's race. I may tweak the program a bit, but for now, at least I am able to RUN!



I feel good about this. So it's me and Robert Ullrey and his podcasts once again!


Week one is 1 min runs/90 sec. walk x8. I did 2.15 miles in that time. My runs were in the 8:20 pace, so I was thrilled with that, though I know I will slow way down as the runs get longer. Stretched a LOT, foam rolled and I am feeling good. YAY!


In other news, had a great long weekend (St. Pat's is HUGE down here- the schools were closed Thurs./Fri). Matthew did GREAT in his 1st parade and the littles really enjoyed it too. My brother was down from Boston which was awesome as well. I will blog more about the parade later :)





HAPPY MONDAY Y'ALL!
