I finished out my training week with back-to-back 40-minute runs on Tuesday and Wednesday and another 40-minute run on Friday (the Tuesday and Friday runs were at 7:19 pace, while I dialed back the Wednesday one to 7:30 since I ran the day before). My leg continues to get marginally better, including less post-run pain for shorter periods of time. I think my strategy for the next several weeks will be to run four times a week, with three quicker 40-minute runs and one longer run, with the duration increasing five minutes a week until I get up to an hour and 20 minutes. I will also continue with my strengthening exercises 2-3 days a week (including this morning after a half hour on the elliptical machine) and a weekly physical therapy session (I am like two sessions from reaching my annual deductible, at which point the sessions will be "free")...
