I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
Outstanding. God, it's been forever. Grats man.
Hurray! I know how it feels to be able to run at last, after being sidelined for a long long while. Take it slow, and you will get back to where you were before your surgery. Congratulations.
Don't call me Buttercup!
Whoo!! So glad you're back at it - and SOO glad you're being smart about it.
Slow and steady wins the.... wait a second! I've been lied to!
That is great news, just don't overdo it coming back.
Most excellent. Stay healthy and don't push it too hard too early. Your aerobic system will be ahead of your support structure. Give it time to catch up regardless of how frustrating that may be.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
Glad to see you back!
Take Charge. Train Harder. Suck Less. No Excuses.
Great news, take it slow though.
Great news!

Good for you! Be careful about doing too much too soon though.

It's good to see you back at it. When I saw "40 mins" as your first workout back I was thinking that might be a bit much, but the walk/run intervals was probably a good call.
I missed all the spring races, all the Boston tribute runs, and this entire year will be focused on recovery and building back up (not to mention DW and I had to cancel our ski vacation). Prior to my injury, my running was at it's best. I was looking forward to a strong year of running.
That sounds like my life from November 2011 to the end of 2012. I'm still not back to where I was, but I'm getting stronger every week and can see my PRs falling this summer.
In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them
Congrats
