It's not much, but it was my first run since last week’s race. I took a full week off - no running but I did do some cycling - and added a recovery plan from Mcmillan Running. Today, that meant 2 miles, and I threw in 8 x 100 strides on the turf after that just because I felt like it. This little 2-week plan should get me back into the swing of things. The key goal right now is to stay healthy so I can start a buildup in late July or early August for a fall half. In the meantime, some maintenance running and maybe the occasional short race just to keep things interesting.

I picked the perfect time to run today. There wasn’t really anyone else on trail! 😁😁😁

Last run on the lockdown as restrictions are lifted as of tomorrow. During the last few weeks I e been running my speed sessions on the treadmill and my longish runs outside. I would usually see one other runner out. Tonight after more than a month, I bumped into my running mates as I was speeding up for the 10 last minutes of my run. I turned around, and followed them about 50m behind, not sure they knew I was there. But such was my joy. I picked up the pace nicely to keep up with them, got my pulse up nicely and left them where our roads separated. I haven’t missed a lot of people, but keeping pace with friends I have. #easyrun #springeveningrun #runninginthetimeofthecoronavirus #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runlikeagirl #runwell #runningblog (at Várkiza, Attiki, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vBoVVnKYC/?igshid=hsb8cmgeci9x

I had to wait until after practice was done today to get my run done. Life of a coach. By then it was 29° and dropping. But the work has to get done. And it did, 5.3 miles of it. It looks like we are locked in for a continued long haul on this cold snap, not something we are used to in Virginia. More miles are planned this weekend. Here we go.

I can't remember the last time I was this happy to run a measly 2.5 miles at a super slow pace. This was a test to see if my knee was up to taking a step forward next week. And it passed! There is still a long way to go but I'm on the long road back. I'll start a new @mcmillanrunning #mcmillanrunteam #rebuildfitness plan on Monday. . This run also closes out my #runningmileage for the year. Long gone are the days when I sacked up 2000 or more miles. Add in a fall injury and my number took a big hit in 2020, ending at 1,183 run miles. Ouch. It's not like I made up for it by #cycling more either. That said I did have a good year of #swimming, logging over 21k for the year. So I guess I swam a #halfmarathon this year. Sounds right for 2020. . #runblr #mastersrunner #injuryrecovery #easyrun #comebacktrail (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcfadHnMIG/?igshid=1roq3panomky8

Ran to the park to meet up with my parent.

Well after running outside, I’ve decided that I was being a little dramatic yesterday. 😳
