15 easy miles on Jordan River Trail. Upper body weights.

I'm glad to be back training. Just trying to ease into it. I had to take nearly 2 months off because of my hamstring. Very frustrating, but such is life. You just have to roll with it. I fought it for several weeks (I forced training through it), and I made it really bad. I knew I had to completely rest it. For much of the past year, I've ran through hamstring pain (but that was do-able). This was different -- really bad. I tried everything imaginable to get over it. Absolutely nothing helped. I finally just stopped everything. A few weeks later, the badness went away. It's not 100%, but it's certainly much-improved. During those 2 months, I cross-trained some, but I admit it:  I certainly was not as diligent as I could have been.

I took a break from the blog. That's why I haven't posted anything lately. I just needed a break -- to re-focus and get healthy.

I've definitely lost fitness, and I've gained 10 pounds (lost a couple this week). But at least I'm not starting from scratch -- I can feel that I've still got some fitness in me. It's time to get in shape.

10 miles in Highland/Alpine with Scott, Toni, Mike, Spencer, and Reed.

My first real workout since returning after my hamstring injury. Warmed-up 4 miles, then did 3-mile tempo in 16:30 (5:28, 5:32, 5:29).  Nothing to write home about, but you have to start somewhere. Actually, I was very pleased with it. Felt relaxed and strong. Thought about going 1-2 more miles, but I figured I'd better ease into this stuff.

Upper body weights.
