doggie

Thankfully the weather has gotten back to normal temps.  After a 4 day layoff me and doggie got in a half mile walk yesterday evening and this morning!!

doggie

Got in a 4 miler early this morning in the 'hood.  It was pretty cold so I decided not to take doggie.  When I got home doggie Mommie was not happy.  Apparently doggie knew I was headed out for a run without her so she paced and whined the whole time I was gone.  Yikes!!  I need to get her some cold weather booties!!

My run went really good.  My time was 45:38 and that includes an almost 4 minute cool down walk!  I actually felt more like a runner than I have since I got fired up.  Now to start eating right and doing some other exercise.  My weighing in at just shy of 205lbs probably isn't going to work.  I realized the other day I weigh 20lbs more than I did for my first marathon 19 years ago....

ankles

Got in a slow run/hike with doggie yesterday.  We went down Rudy's, along the main trail, passed the HOL towards the dam and then up the POS trail.  I tweeked my left ankle (bad ankle) a little before we even veered off the HOL going down, tweeked it again a few minutes later.  And before I'd even made it 15 minutes I rolled my right ankle (good ankle) enough to scream out in pain.  I couldn't believe it!!  I walked a bit and the pain subsided and I continued on without anymore mishaps.  I hate to even put my time down but I feel like for training sake I should.

1:17 for exactly 5 miles!!  DON'T LAUGH!!

foot

Myself, Lovie and doggie got in a good 3 miler in the 'hood this morning!!  I believe this is my 4th 3 miler since I started back shuffling.   The foot still isn't 100% but it seems to cooperating fairly well!!

3 mile

Got it a 3 mile run/walk with Lovie Saturday morning and another 3 miler with doggie this morning!!   I've been doing lots of stretching and using the foam roller.  Hells Hills here I come!!

great

2 mile run/ walk with doggie this morning.  It felt great to be out there.  Got in some pretty good stretching afterwards.  I'm going to wear the boot at work all day today and see if keeping my foot at 90 degrees all day is beneficial.   The plan right now is to repeat tomorrow morning!!

baby steps

The morning of New Years Eve me and doggie did a 2 mile run/ walk in the 'hood.  It was really, really cold but it was very nice to be getting some activity.  My foot felt a little weird off and on through that day but it felt fine yesterday.  We'll see how it goes with the baby steps......
