Wet day today in Boston, had to work in the morning, got home around noon and was excited about going for a run in the rain.
Dressed up ready to go, was in pain before getting to the end of my street. My hamstring felt tight yesterday all right but never thought nothing of it. Unfortunately very tight and sore when trying to run, even if I was just jogging. Turned around came home and did some weights instead, very disappointing.

Two for Two
Got up this morning a little later than planned, still had time though so fitted in a 2 mile run on the way back, I passed a flight of steps that I always see people running up and down in Washington Square, I never actually ran them before, so did that today. 33 steps in all, I did it twice, up and down.
On the way back home them the back of legs felt tired, but that was great. I love feeling fatigued like that since it means I pushed it. My heart-rate was really racing too.
Got home and then did about 15 minutes weights and then 5 minutes stretching.
I am very happy to be back exercising and while it does not seem much, I know I can build up in no time, just in time for summer and shorts.

Back from Mini-Vacation
So the last week or so has been busy, my sister got married, the wedding was in Ireland, so I was out of the country for a week. I packed one days running gear, but things were hectic and I was a little hung-over some of the time so unfortunately I did not get anything in. I did do a little weights though.
Got in a two mile run this evening, more to brush off cobwebs than anything else. I probably could have done another mile, but I just wanted to just get the blood flowing. I felt strong running so I a eager to keep going and get myself up to a regular 20/25 miles per week. I spent 20 Min's after doing weights.
I have a mini goal for now, a 3.5 Miler on Mothers Day coming up next Sunday. I did the race last year and my goal is to beat that time 30:33 Pace 8:44. Maybe a great goal would be to finish under 30 minutes. So now I have 10 days to get in some regular runs, and do some speed work.
