Wow I can't believe I am on week 3 already! One minor set back in week two was my unexpected hail storm run with Daisy and my husband, caused me to over do it a little bit. I barely warmed up trying to beat the storm and once it started raining we were all running as hard and fast as we could! The next day my ankles and knees were so sore, I was in pain just walking. So I did take one day off from running to recover and my Saturday long run I decreased from 4 to 3 miles. This week is a building week. So I am running longer time and walking shorter time. Today's run was great. I felt good for the most part. I have found that I really need to warm up those ankles before my run. I am hoping and praying that this chronic ankle problem will not interfere with my training. I am trying to be very smart about my injury prevention. This Saturday long run is 5 miles. I'm nervous! I haven't gone that distance in a long time.
On another note. My sweet Daisy Mae is also slowly getting into the groove as well. My last run I did with her in week 2 went really well. She is really learning how to run with me. She loves it so much. Today when I went for my run, my husband said she threw a fit when I left. Looks like she will be a great motivator too.
