“Take it easy.  Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.”

Today’s workout was 45 minutes in motion on the cinder track at about 6 o’clock on a steamy, summer evening. That consisted of 10 minutes walking, 20 minutes jogging, and 15 minutes walking.  About a mile into the run my body began to feel comfortable. It was nice: it’s been a while!  I felt no discomfort in my foot and my stride  was true. Hopefully there will be no negative outcomes tomorrow.

My quadriceps were sore throughout the run segment, no doubt due to the fact that I have been adding squats to my fitness lab workout for the past week. But it was a good soreness and gradually subsided. I like to think that it’s an indication that my muscles are getting stronger from the work I’m doing on non-running days.

 The goal this week remains to achieve one 30 minute run by Sunday.

Post-run I massaged my foot on a frozen water bottle and stretched.  I’ve been doing consistent stretching and rolling of my calves throughout the day.
