Another Week, Another Report

This last week seemed to be really good.  My knees are feeling better and stronger and my bum is pretty loose and feeling good.  Tuesday I ran 2 1/2 miles doing intervals.  I kept it the same speed as last week and it felt slightly better.  I'm still struggling for breath at the last interval, but I figure that's good for my heart as long as my body can keep up.  Wednesday I did yoga after feeling a little tight in my hamstrings and was amazed at how much better I felt afterwards.  I need to remember that.  Thursday I ran 3 miles doing 8 minutes of running and 2 minutes of walking.  Saturday I went 4 1/2 miles very slow but ran the whole time.  My IT bands started to get tight towards the end so I just slowed down even more and they did well.  I had an ice bath afterwards and though my quads were still slightly sore the next day, I think I did surprisingly well.  I'm still working on a base and won't be increasing my miles too much.  But I'm excited to be back running, even if it's slower than molasses.   I'll take it.
