This is my blog which features thoughts about my resurgent running career. The purposes of this blog are to keep me accountable in my efforts to return to running after an extended layoff and to hopefully provide a few tidbits to help others do the same. I've gone from couch to 5k and beyond. I'm striving to be a truly good runner. Not there yet, but it's a start!

400
Went to a nearby state rec area for a group run on the "mountain bike" trail. The group ended up being very small and, other than me, the few people who showed up were quite advanced. I was only able to keep up for a half mile and then they pulled away. As I haven't been able to get many runs in recently and likely because I did some gym work on Thursday, my legs felt heavy. I realized early on that there wasn't going to be any way I could do the entire hilly, 10 mile trail run (at least in the amount of time I had available this morning) and I didn't want to be several miles out on the trail and run out of gas. I turned around after a couple miles and ended up doing a respectable 6 mile run.
With this run, I exceeded 400 miles for the year. Oh yea.
