Marathon come back Week 2 is in the books, but not without a little concern. This week I would test my knee with the first
“come back” back to back runs, on Wednesday I ran 5 miles around our housing
area and then planned to go 6 Thursday. The run Wednesday run
went well, not an issue but when I pushed off on the first steps of Thursdays
run the old familiar and despised pain in my knee came back, not near the same
level but just enough to say Hi “Remember Me.”
Well I did remember and was not happy…
I
managed to work my way thu the knee thing and ran a solid 5.5 miles, but
figured I had to adjust my training plan to avoid back to back running days a
little while longer. I ended my running
week on Saturday…a nice 6 miles along the roads and levees of Scottsville , Va

With
the running week behind me, Michele and I went tubing down the James River with a group of camping friends. It was a perfect day, we had a ton of fun,
the weather was outstanding and the laughs were never ending. I’m also happy to report the sharks, alligators
and flying monkeys of the James River left us
to our own devices. If you’re ever
looking for a nice weekend around the James River and Scottsville , VA
On
to week 3, I’m going to adjust my training plan to not
run back to back days for the remainder of Aug, and leverage clock time to get
in 4 runs a week. Let’s see how long run
Friday nights go….Am I crazy????
