So my forced no-run recovery period ended this morning. I think the mental break was as important as the physical break. I had some tightness in my right knee, but there was never any pain. Everything else felt good.
It was actually a very refreshing run. I had planned to go 4 - 6 miles depending on how I felt. I had no pace goals and even planned on walking at times, but after I started running, I had no desire to stop. Although the pace was easy, I ran 6 miles stopping only once to remove rocks from my shoes. I could have just kept going or picked up the pace as I wanted. It was a foggy, drizzly morning but perfect for running through the woods.
It was the kind of run that makes me want to go out and do it again tomorrow. Too bad it is a cross-training day. But I'm looking forward to Wednesday already.
