I’m not back to full speed by any means, so being able to accomplish something in my recovery is a big deal.
It looks like tomorrow is day 20 of my streak, which is already three times as long as my longest consecutive set of running days.
I’ve gained 10 pounds since my injuries sidelined me for 6 weeks straight. I still hope to go sub 3:30 in a marathon this year, but right now, I’m just trying to keep running.
I had meeting after meeting after meeting today, and stole 23 minutes and 22 seconds to run 2.5 miles today (9’21″ pace). A little too fast, but I needed to get back to work ASAP.
I hurt, yet I feel pretty good at the same time. Weird.

- Nice warm lunch time run 5.7 miles in 48:51--8'35" miles, around 11am. Didn't do anything crazy on this run. No sprinting at the end, no fast miles.
