Run #67 - 2 miles (the next steps to recovery)

Hello all,

Yesterday was my second "recovery" run. I planned on running2 miles and seeing how the knee held up. I arrived at the YMCA at 6:00am. It was cold (38 degrees) and rainy when I got out of the truck, which made me even more thankful that I have an inside place to run. I hit the track and settled into what felt like an easy pace. When I checked my time at my first mile it was 10:29 - 51 seconds UNDER my MP (marathon pace). I just kept on running at the same pace (or so I thought). When I finished my second mile the pace for it was 10:02!!! I decided to run a 1/2 mile "cool down" and it was at an 11:00 pace, still below my MP. Needless to say I was really psyched about the run. My knee felt great. There has been no pain to date and I am doing what I was told, ramping myself back up slowly.

Today's run was to be a 4 mile run. You'll have to read the blog later today to hear about it though.

Still in the hunt for that pig!!!

In Him,

Philippians 4:13
