The healing power of time

If you read my blog regularly you are probably sick and tired of listening to me talk about my hamstrings.  After a week and a half rest/cross training I went for my long run today.  I was not sure how it would go.  I was prepared to cut the run short and walk it out if I was in pain.  I am elated to report that I completed the 16 mile walk/run with no hamstring pain.  The plan called for 14-16 miles.  Of course this means 16 in my mind.  I was tired but felt good at the end.  It was humid.

Kathy and I planned to meet at the trail head at 6 a.m. to get the run in before the heat of the day.  It was thundering and lightening at 6 so we pushed it out to 8.  Luckily there was a cloud cover most of the time that kept it tolerable.  Kathy is my running idol.  She makes tough runs go by fast.

I am happy to be back on the plan.
