Well, yes, I suppose I am "back".

It finally seemed like my knee might allow me to run further than 2 miles. I have only ventured over the 15 minute mark running two times since mid January and I was hoping I wouldn't exceed that by too much today.

What have I been doing the last three months? All will be shortly revealed, but suffice it to say that this entire week I have been woefully, pitifully sore and today was really no different.

I did a very brief warmup on the trails near the start to get shelter from the wind, but I'm not sure that really hurt me. I think the biggest factor in my poor performance today was the extreme fatigue in my calves. I felt great the first half a mile or so, but my calves got tired at about that point and I had to shorten my stride up. I gradually lost the main pack and slipped back through the field but I didn't lose too much ground all things considered.

Mile splits were 4:53 and 10:10, meaning that I ran somewhat like a high schooler, oh well.

After the race Allie and I went to the field house:

Hamstring 3*15 @90lbs

Quads 3*15@115lbs

Abductors 3*15@85lbs

Adductors 3*15@80lbs (felt weak today)

One legged Eccentric Leg Press 3*10 @ 160lbs (each leg,right glute sore)

Back 3*12 @45lbs

Internal/External Hip rotation 3*15 @ 20pounds (each leg)

Bridging with extension 15*(5secs each leg)*2 sets

Plank (Front/side/side) 90sec/60/60*3 (Last set alphabet+trunk twist)

Reverse Leg Raises 4*25 each leg

Soon! Sooon!

Elliptical,swimming, cycling,pool running and actual running

Increased time on the elliptical and transition to pool running including 10miles pool running in 55mins (very draining). Started to run on the treadmill for 10-15mins at a time.
