On this morning's run to work, to my surprise, I pulled off a 31:45 without even trying. My previous best times for this run are 30:30 (pre-cancer) and 33:50 (post cancer). So, needless to say I was totally stoked with that run. I always go faster on the way home over the same course, not sure if the faster time is the result of the elevation change, time of day, or the fact that I am running home (rather than to work!), but either way I am excited to see if I will run even faster this evening. Its great to be back in my old trading range. Especially since my first run back was a 38, and it took 3 weeks to get out of the 35s. Now I am starting to really wonder what kind of shape I am in.
This picture is relevant of nothing in this post. It just cracks me up, so I put it up. Its my oldest beagle, Maggie, trying to come up from the basement through the cat door, and she doesn't fit.
PS - Update on 10/14...I ran a 30:05 on the way home!
