Saturday morning

I surprised myself this morning by dragging my rear out of bed early, and entering the local Loop the Lake run. It was a 4 mile run around our lake, and part of the homecoming events of the past week. I actually made it without having to walk. I took the first half of the run easy, but then the competitive part of me kicked in. I started looking at the people in front of me, and tried to reel them in. My pace was nothing special, averaged about 10 minute miles, but I just wanted to get out and run. I probably didn’t do too badly since I have hardly run at all in the past 6 months. My heel had been feeling a little better, but still not back to 100% yet. We will have to see how I feel later today, and tomorrow! I’ve got “rubber legs” right now, and an ice pack on my heel. Keeping my fingers crossed.
