Today was my third day in a row of running, with a mile added each day. The good news is I ran the five miles at a lightly faster pace (7:42) than yesterday when I ran four miles (7:44) and just a bit slower than the three miles on Sunday (7:41). So I guess that’s progress. It shouldn’t surprise me that I lost so much fitness in three weeks, but I have to admit it kind of does. It’s also amazing to me that this is now the third time since I started training that I had to take a fair amount of time off and nearly “start from Ground Zero” again. It’s also weird doing all this running outside after having gotten so used to treadmill running. The one benefit is all this time off has been GREAT for my left leg—the pain is completely gone.
