BQ by 40

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.

• Second week after the Flying Pig. Monday's run felt pretty good, but seemed to run long by the last two miles.Proof than I do not control my pace well on an "easy run". - Tuesday's run was nice because it was outside, but I did not keep my pace under control, and probably canceled out its......
• I laugh so that I don't cry Actually, the drama is diminished for me today. I believe I have found a mostly acceptable workout routine while recovering:30 minutes of hard biking on the StairMaster bike downstairs twice per week.45 minutes of 180 cadence elliptical work twice per week.Maybe I can work in 2 hours on Saturday morning......
• 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,......
