Don't call it a comeback

i ran, yay! for the first time in two months i actually ran. yes, Chicago 2007 turned me off from organized events...but not from running in its entirety. i've not been feeling it lately, but the time, aches, and the pounds started to add up.

i went 3 miles in 29:30, not bad for such along "rest". just under 10 minute pace. don't get me wrong, my lungs were burning at mile 1, and my legs ached by mile 2. but i managed to run the full distance anyway.

it was a beautiful night out. it was snowing large, fluffy flakes. the snow was coming down slowly, just barely masking the tracks of the occasional runner who passed that way before me. it really was a serene little run.

expect more to come.

it's hit or miss lately

I have not been very consistent with the running lately. been doin 15-30 minutes as a warm up before lifting (which has also been very hit or miss). also been in tampa all week. I did manage a run of 30 minutes on thursday morning. let me tell you, it's friggin humid in florida this time of year. i'll be in a car for 2 days so no running tell next week.
on a side note i've come close to injuring my ankle again. I tripped over a walker, fell off a ramp, and was almost thrown out of a jazzy 14 xl scooter. it's been some kind of week.

Some good, some bad

The good:
Looks like my toenail isn't going to leave me anytime soon. It's half black and very nasty looking (i think I'll post a picture).

Just got back from a week in Puerto Vallarta, very relaxing.

Got new shoes, same kind but without the nasty funk, and with all that new shoe cushioning.

The bad:
My watch broke at the finish line. Popped right off my wrist and smashed into the pavement destroying it. So no lap times for me.

Have not run in more than two weeks.
