Day 47 - 2 Miles!

Day 47 was my first 2 mile run.  It felt really good, like I have accomplished something.  There is also the part of me that says, "You did 2 miles...big deal.  Talk to me when you get to 10."  The Hooray for 2 miles side is winning out at this moment.  You might have noticed I skipped a day again.  That is true.  Sometimes life simply does not allow you to do what you want to do on a given day.

Distance: 2 miles/8+ laps up at West Catholic (I looked it up and 4 laps around the track is actually 9 meters shy of an actual mile.  So I went just a little beyond 8 laps).

Weight: 212 (Pain Center Scale the day after)

Results: Felt good!  My knee did not bother me, nor is it bothering me today.  I still have not decided if some of the 1st ray pain is soft tissue in nature or if it is joint related (it is probably a little of both).  Doing some self massage with a lacrosse ball is helpful.

What I Learned: The progression is working.  I'm not having any major issues.  I can't wait to get some shoes so I can just take off from my front door.

Plan: Plan?  Good question.  We will be leaving to go up north after work on Friday, when I should be taking a run.  Should I run 2 days in a row or wake up early on Friday and run?  I'll decide tonight.
