I think we agree on 99.9% of this.  We're really just arguing about the argument, which is what both of us do as a matter of training. (I'm a lawyer.)  But I think everyone else is probably not so amused, so we should probably cool it!

This is why LHR people do not come out to play with you people.

Maybe a little, heh.

 

But you ain't shittin' about the comeback being hard.  JPF, your log says you're doing a good job of getting out the door on a consistent basis.  That's a lot of the battle right there (I am coming off of an injury time out myself).  Just keep building on that and you will get there.

Thanks.  I've been trying.  The big question for me when I started again was really how many miles to start at.  I just picked 15 per week out of the air, which might have been too many, but it seems to have worked out.  I'm using Daniels' rule of thumb:  every three weeks or so adding as many miles as the number of sessions I run.  So I've been adding 5 or 6 miles/wk every three weeks or so.  This makes sense to me because the three weeks seem to give me time to adjust to the new level before adding more.  Adding more often than that and I'm concerned that I won't recognize that it's too much until it's too late.  Plan is to plateau at 40 or 45 for a little while and see how that goes.
