This week was a challenge since I had to travel to DC for work, but I feel like I did well overall. With my first week behind me, I realized a few things: 
  • Holy crap, I'm out of shape! Taking two months to be lazy is fighting me pretty hard right now.
  • It doesn't take long for your legs to re-discover that they're still capable of higher mileage, but you will have a rough go at first. Press through.
  • As much as I hate to say it, the Cortisone shots work amazingly! I love being able to run without foot pain. I can't even think of the last time I was able to do that!
  • My kids typically nap at the hottest point of the day, so that makes for interesting running weather on my long run Saturdays. Challenge accepted, boys.

Maybe, just maybe, I can do this.
