Easing back in...

I'm easing back in to running, but its hard mentally. A 30 minute run feels like nothing, but I know I can't just start running ridiculous miles and expect to not get injured. My running volume came way down during IM training and I've definitely gained some weight in the last month of laziness. I've got to ease back in before increasing my mileage, because there are many things that could cause an injury.

I ran for an hour last night. Then today I did a 30 minute run today, even though it felt like nothing. I wanted to throw down an hour or hour and a half, but I knew that would be a bad idea. I'm going to try and get in an hour tomorrow but keep the pace really easy.

Happy New Year to all!

Terrible Run

I'm using my time in Texas to try and get back into the mental mode of running. I got out of the habit while taking a break after the IM. Then it got cold and all my motivation disappeared. I went out for a 30 minute run today and it felt awful. That's motivation enough. I feel ridiculously out of shape.

Ironman World Championship

Its on NBC right now.

I'm watching and now I want to do another Ironman.

That didn't take long...

A week later

Its been slightly over a week and I haven't done much healthy. I ran for the first time last night though. I only put in a little over 3 miles. I didn't feel terrible, but I definitely didn't feel "right." I'm currently on my way to Portland for NXN, so I should get in some good runs while out on the west coast.

I'm still riding a bit of a high from the race. 11:46:09, and I couldn't be happier. I've been working on the race report, but its taking a long time. Its VERY long. Right now, I'm about 1/3 done with the cycling leg. As soon as I finish the race report, I'll get up posted to the blog.

I'll try and get some stuff up over the next few days as well as we showcase the Spike Bus at WHQ and NXN.
