Returning to Normalcy
I'm glad to my life is slowing back to its usual somewhat harried pace, rather than the crazy fast pace as of late. I've also returned to the infamous night shift at work, which is always interesting and challenging to adapt to. Luckily I only do it for a week at a time!
So, running. I did my first run this afternoon back up here at elevation, and I felt every foot of it! Plus, my lungs were a bit shocked at the sub-freezing air. I've developed a bit of the cold weather runner's hack this evening. I ran 72 minutes, which I'm going to call 8.5 miles. I knew I was taking it pretty easy while readjusting to the altitude and dodging ice patches. This evening I'll make my return to the indoor bike trainer, after a 3 week hiatus. I plan to spin just 30 to 40 minutes easy, to let my rear end gently adapt again to the seat.
I've been running about 40 miles/week for the last 6 weeks (including one rest week), and I'm ready to slowly slide up to 50 miles/week.
