Graduate School is Finished!


Graduation was wonderful and it just reinforced how lucky I am to have such wonderful, loving, and supportive family and friends! My heart most gratitude and love goes to all of you. I know that even though a few could not make the trip to be here in person, they were with me in spirit.

Now that my graduate classes and my graduation is done I finally have a bit of time to focus on getting back into my shorts.

May 20th: Thursday. Rough "run". This was my 1st run since the beginning of the month. My legs felt very heavy and tight. I had to stop twice to walk.

I was surprised at how sore and tight my legs were after this short run. I decided I would give my legs a bit of a break on Friday and instead of running joined Matt down at Mead's place for a bit of a BBQ.

May 22nd: Saturday. Small improvement. My legs were still a little stiff but as soon as I started running they felt better. This run I was able to stay with my Virtual Partner and only lagged behind when I hit a hill on the way home and had to walk. Once again I had to walk twice, but this time the walks were shorter and I was able to run faster so the overall time wasn't as pitiful.

I am considering participating in a 1/2 marathon. But only if in the next month I can get my distance up and my time down a bit. Right now my Virtual Partner is set to 2 miles at a 12:00 min/mile. Today was an improvement, but still a way to go so it is consistent. I have the opportunity to borrow a road bike and see if I like it, but I just need to make the time to visit the friends and pick it up.
