First day back since the doctor’s appointment

…and since the 10k race in Lexington

6am this morning. 8.02 miles in 1:10:21… that’s 8’47″ miles. Relatively tough for an easy run. 73° F, Overcast, Humid, 83% humidity.

Leg muscles, heart, and lungs were not happy. I felt okay afterwards. Did a little icing (frozen bottle rolls). The NSAID dose today helped calm pain down more today than yesterday. I’m walking pretty normally tonight, but I’m stepping on an ice pack at the moment.

• Ran for the first time. 2.16 mi in 18:18 #twit2fit I intended to go outside to walk 2 miles, despite my back being pretty tight still.  Leaving the gym, I had to decide whether I wanted to bring my iPod Classic (arm band) and phone with me (no pockets).  Doing so would have guaranteed that I wouldn't have run.  However,......
• First long run in a while I barely consider 14 a long run anymore, but consider it's 6 miles longer than my longest run in 3 weeks, it was a long run. My goal was to hit 8'51"/mile for every mile. I averaged it, but went over on three different miles.My tendon next to my ankle......
