The trail runs are paying off when I do regular runs now. Going to need some new shoes soon. These ones have over 600 miles now

Just felt like running today. I was going to take a week off before starting my new program but
The first 3 were ran and then walk breaks were thrown in for the last 3

I might have pushed a little far distance wise but I’m feeling alright. I wanted a baseline to compare with the new program. The last 2 miles were a bit of a struggle though

Ha - I know that feeling all too well….one minute you’re running along thinking “I feel AMAZING!!” and then the next thing you know, your body is reminding you that no…
Epson salts and active recovery!!

Well i aggitated my achilles running yesterday 
But i have a new goal, 6.4k race in mid july. I think this is the beginning of another healthy path.

Not that shabby but I’m kinda of sad that I had such a good (for me) time for a 5k and under before my Pf issue. Now it feels like a struggle. Surprisedly my HR wasn’t high so I think I need to loosen my body. I felt tight and I think it’s cause I’m worried about my back. I’ll get back to where I was, consistency is

Excellent!
Where were you at, right around 10 min/mile before the injury? I don’t think you are really that far away from the pre-PF pace. I think you are doing it right, testing the waters a little at a time.
Once you start running free (
) you’ll be going faster than before. Of course, it’s not all about the numbers, but, hey, stopwatch don’t lie!

Yea, my fast runs were around the 10 minute and sometimes right under. The chiropractor told me my back won’t ever get better since it’s a disc issue. I’ll keep testing the waters. This may be my new fast lol

Be sure to hit me up and yes i like to run each day to keep the mind fresh 
Had to quit my running schedule 
My knee is not taking it anymore. I was afraid it would affect my ability to walk too.
I think after 5 times ore even more of trying to get my running qualities back and can’t, I have to let go of the idea I can get it back some day.
I used to run half a marathon and did running races. It was such fun until I injured my knee and they could not find the exact diagnose for it. The last doctor thought a runners knee. But I’m over flexible too, so that doesn’t help either.
Never mind the cause, I did not overgrow it
But it is what it is.
Going to focus on my walks again and cheer on your runs!

Sorry to hear that. Probably a good decision in the long term, having restricted mobility in day to day life would be really limiting.
I’m afraid I’ll have the same ending with my running, but at the moment I still have some hope so will persevere for now

I will keep my fingers crossed🤞
But now I have made my decision I feel relieved as well. When running it felt like I was hurting my body. But at the same time I remebered how good it felt to run back in the old days. I still miss that feeling: quit a long run sweaty and tired but sooo very satisfied.

Oh yes those things are hard work I never had an electric one but had a thing like this:
I have 3 kids, so I had two in my bike buggy and one on the seat behind me at my own bike.
But I guess biking at an electic one like you without the power is even worse…
Hope your knees improve soon!

After my breathing called down I was kinda mad at myself for not continuing but at least I got out there. It was a learning experience I suppose

Goooood morning TS runners. Holy F@%$. Its a beautiful start to my morning. I lifted weights then did a 2min run/walk interval for a 5k! Who does that? Apparently, 2yr sober me does that. Thinking of you guys and this post improved my times.
A glimpse at my intervals
I feel myself training my mind. Whoa the mental game of running is hard. Much love peeps
