December 1st, Thursday

Real progress……..

On a beautiful, brisk, breezy,  early December afternoon I decided to test my foot on a favorite local road course. This run consists of two miles of gently rolling hills out and back on Pittinger Pond Road.   I had not run on roads or hills or more than three miles in over two months.  I approached the effort with trepidation, vowing to abort on the first sign of pain or soreness.  Happy to report that I  completed the four miles in under 50 minutes (49:55) with all systems A-OK!   Miles got progressively quicker; 14:17, 12:02, 11:59, & 11:46.

I’m very pleased with this run.   Iced and golf ball rolled for proactive foot care.
