Last week was my first time back at intervals some weeks. Yep, just as hard as I remembered. I did intervals again on Thursday just to be sure. Whew.
I was out in western Mass last weekend where DD and I did an excessively inclined Sunday morning run. It was at least twice as steep as the steeping climb of the Marathon route. If I'd been biking down that big hill we climbed, I'd have been riding the brakes in fear the whole way. But we made it! And it made for an extra-special leg workout, too, and also made up for the low-ish mileage due to recuperation. The good news is that no horrible pains have returned and I have continued to ramp up my miles with cautious optimism. This this past Sunday (along with DD and Mark), I completed the nine mile around-the-lakes route with no significant pain or issues. Yay!
Of course I'm not yet up to the distances I was doing when the problems started, so it remains to be seen if I can pass that milestone as well. This Sunday will be our next course run and I expect I'll aim for at least 12 so we'll see how that goes. Think strong and healthy thoughts in my direction!
