What's this? A run? Well, a run-walk, to be precise. It's been five months almost to the day since I last ran. As per my doctor's orders, I alternated one minute of running with one minute of walking, for ten minutes. Observations: 1) man, I'm out of shape! 2) When I set my Garmin up to beep every minute, I found that my user profile weight was listed as 12 lbs. lighter than I am now (I've "bulked up" since my abs project). 3) My heel felt okay, but I still noticed a little soreness. It'll be interesting to see how it feels the next couple of days. Not sure if I'll attempt another run/walk before I see my doc on Friday. But it was good to get out there and run a few steps!

Baby steps. . . . it's all good! Nice job, Colin, and nice to see you back logging some miles (er. . . a mile, rather). :)

It is! I was going to be sentimental and do this tomorrow (exactly 5 months since my last run), but tomorrow looks like rain. Had to take advantage of the sun!

Thanks Margaret! I have a feeling I'll be doing these for awhile, so I'll become very familiar with the run/walk method!

Wonderful news! If run/walks get you out the door safely, keep it up!

Thanks Lucie! If I basically have to start over, so be it. I hope I can build back from here.
