I’m probably a couple of weeks away from being able to run any kind of long run outside–in part from recovery, but mostly from happily being blind-sided by the responsibilities of having a second child at home.
I’m glad I never thought about the implications of having a new baby in the house; the initial stress on the body is much like the first few miles I ran two years ago… except for the fact that the baby doesn’t always stop crying within 30 minutes, and the fact that running does not involve much responsibility, etc…
Running:
2 miles in 18:19 @ 2% incline (9'10" pace)
Biking:
11.27 miles in 30 minutes @ level 20 on StairMaster/Speed Intervals
