Running update

Things are going well in my training (for the first time in 2 years!). It's a lot of work, but well worth it. I have to stretch my back in the morning, do a 10-15 minute stretching routine after running in the afternoon, do a 10-15 minute stretching routine at night, and use the torture implements on my legs (something called a "foam roller" and something else called "the stick").

I can't say how happy it makes me feel to be able to do this again though! Right now it's about 6 miles on Sunday, cross train Monday, 5 each Tuesday-Thursday, cross train Friday, then 10 miles on Saturday.

I'm still daydreaming about continually building mileage (though very cautiously this time) and then running trail-ultras someday, but even if I never get to go over my current mileage I'm just happy to finally get to run at all.

P.S. - I'm really enjoying the Nike+ thing. Fun toy!
