I got motivated this afternoon after reading through some Triathlon websites and other health articles. Decided after yesterdays mini-Tri to only go for a run. This was the first run out of the gym and on pavement, not the treadmill, all-in-all not to bad.
I ran from the house to just a few lights short of work and back which is 2.2 miles round trip. It’s a “hilly” route with the majority of the first mile at a good incline. I came back down the other side of the hill to the major intersection and turned around. Naturally the majority of the remaining trip was down hill it was still good to get out on the pavement.
More importantly i’ve not used the knee brace at all this year and feel that all I really need to do is get the muscles stronger around the knee to keep it intact. Also, happy that the shin splints sem to be subsiding. The only real pains i’m feeling are the normal “you’re-getting-old” dings and dents which, in a strang way, make me feel pretty good.
