My leg took a turn for the better this week; I ran 5 consecutive days without deterioration – a major accomplishment. It’s still not as lithe and free as the right leg, but nearly there. Fitness is returning as well, but taking its time.
For the most part, I’m positive about the way things are going but still, I miss my Summer self. I miss fluidity and ease. I miss confidence. I miss feeling like a good runner.
No doubt it’ll all come back in due time but at the moment I feel like a clunky farm animal. Nevertheless, I’m happy to say that after 2 interminable months, it’s time to include this ole thing again…
‘Bout Fucking Time Week In Review
Mon: Vegas – off
Tues: Travel – off
Wed: 6
Thurs: 6
Friday: 9.42 (targeted 9 but got distracted and missed the turn-around)
Sat: 4
Sun: 10
Total: 35.42 mi – paces (per run) averaged 8:54 to 8:28
Note: The week prior was 40mi, but because Sunday’s Half was a big mileage jump for a single run, I played the following days conservatively. This coming week, however, I’m back on track, so providing my leg stays happy, I’ll hit 48mi. Just wanted to explain that in case you think “35 to 48…Danger! Danger!”
The cow has everything under control. Moo.

I’m so glad all parts are in working order! You’ll get that summer-running feeling back soon.
A cow? Really?! haha
Keep up the consistency and “Summer Flo” will appear once more! I like your colorful week in review title, btw….
Wishing you many good runs this week:) Go Forth!
Thanks ladies. If I could have a teeny, tiny crumb of what you two are having, I’ll be one happy cow.
You’ll get back to your summer self. One step at a time. Glad your leg is cooperating!
This is good news, with more to come I hope. It’s fun that our easy paces are in the same ballpark these days. Virtual running buddies.
I wish. Hopefully in a couple weeks I’ll be able to run “with” you comfortably.
