My goal is to get back into road racing, shed some pounds, and strengthen myself for karate and snowboarding this winter. Honestly, it hurt like hell the first week and I really felt old. It didn’t help matters that I added some speed, 5 x 200m intervals at faster than race pace, to the mix. Too much, too soon. Recovery from these daily short runs was painfully slow. But I have dropped weight and today I went on a relaxing 45 minute run with a friend on the trails over at PEA. I felt like I could have run another 45 minutes with no problem. Finally feeling like a runner again.
