CIM Training Week 2, Day 4: 2.6 miles

Things just keep moving along! Today was 2.6 miles, which I did as a tempo run and managed to average just over 9 minutes per mile. Have I mentioned it's great to be running again?

CIM Training Week 2, Day 3: 5 miles

After yesterday's run, I had a thought: what if my running was suffering, not from lack of fitness, but because of fear? Fear that I might reinjure myself, fear that my ankle would hurt if I ran any further. There was only one way to find out.

Today, I decided to run hard, a tempo pace, not quite race pace. My goal was to run around 9 minutes per mile the whole way.





While I didn't quite make that goal, I nailed it!
