I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Met the BBK's this morning at Bingham High and ran an easy paced 5 miles. It felt so good to be out running. The temp was so nice. The leg felt good. I could feel a little tightness but no pain. Our overall pace was 9:39. I planned on only doing 3-4 but with the road construction on 10600 So., we took back roads and I didn't know my way back. Oh well, 5 felt good:)

Good running Michelle. I'm happy that your leg felt alright.

Nice you got back without overdoing it.

From Michelle N. on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 11:59:08 from 75.162.247.175

Thanks Cal! I am happy also.

Paul-This is an area I don't mess with. I don't want to be out all summer so I am really trying to be smart about getting back into things. I've got WBR next month so I do need to build up some mileage and speed but...babysteps:)

Good for you to be able to put a few miles in. I'm sure that felt good. Beautiful morning!

From Michelle N. on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:16:41 from 75.162.247.175

It felt awesome and I can't wait to get out again on Saturday. I may even run a couple slow miles tomorrow. How is your leg doing? I hope some time off will get it better fast:)

From Amber on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 13:07:38 from 64.255.88.143

Yeah! I'm so happy you could run pain free! It's so hard to know how hard to push yourself when you are trying to build up mileage but not re-injured. . . take it easy! Running is the best!

Michelle, you've been so smart with your injury! I'm glad its coming back well for you. I had such a GREAT run with everyone this morning, I'm finally feeling ready for Ogden!

From Kelli on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 20:20:36 from 71.219.89.37

YEAH for running!!!!!

From jody on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 21:13:36 from 98.202.136.149

I am so glad you are feeling better! Hopefully I will be back next week.

From Cheryl on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 22:17:19 from 76.27.66.153

Good job, Michelle. I'm glad everything felt ok. That was a fun run this morning. I wish we could run like that every time.

From Michelle N. on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:15:25 from 75.162.247.50

Thanks guys! Good luck Kelli. Jody, I hope your leg is feeling better and that you'll be back next week also. I'm planning on it.

Cheryl, I hear ya. It would be nice to not be so worried about a time and just really enjoy running for what it is. It was so nice to just be able to run that I didn't even care at all about my pace. That's a first:)
