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.
