| Doctor cleared me to run today! He recommended Day 1: 1 minute, Day 2: 1 minute, Day 3: rest, Day 4: 2 minutes, Day 5: 2 minutes, Day 6: rest, Day 7: 4 minutes, Day 8: 4 minutes, Day 9: rest. I'm going to follow that and hope for no changes in pain levels in my tibia. I've been dealing with a stress reaction for most of 2015.
So today was a 1 minute run. I couldn't help but smile. I've never been happier to run 1 minute! Followed by about 10 mintues yoga at home.
This was my first run since September, and even before September, I hadn't been able to run much since injuring myself in early March when I developed a stress reactio in my right tibia, which went undiagnosed until September. To kick the stress reaction for good, I was in a cam walker boot for 7 weeks (and crutches for 3 weeks) and gave up working out completely from October through today. No running, no yoga, no weights. Sedentary. That was really tough but hopefully worth it!
Here's to a better year in 2016! Great to be back--even if it was just for 1 minute today!

I'm back in a rhythm with training again, finally, after moving to NYC this year and recovering from my stress reaction in tibia from last year. Been running less than 20 miles a week all summer, and want to start bringing the miles up again. Will be using the blog again to track miles.

Then 5 strides. Felt almost cool tonight, relatively speaking. I love running in Central Park. The energy is amazing. It is like race day because there are so many people out...interesting people!

Long run through NYC. Today was the last Saturday of Summer Streets, where they close down Park Ave. for 7 miles from E. 72nd Street all the way down to the Brooklyn Bridge. Since it is NYC, there were big sponsors at every rest station--a huge inflatable slide and beach scene (with sand) at Folely Square, a 100 m dash by Nike with 12 foot tall photos of Olympic track stars (and Serena), a zip line, etc.--but no bathrooms.
It was a great run, and I regret not taking advantage of Summer Streets on prior weekends! I ran with easy/moderate effort and then a faster finish. My GPS was whacked because of running among the skysrapers along Park. But I think it was probably about 11 miles in 90 minutes. This is the longest run I have done this year. I felt really good!

| Did you know Harlem is awesome? What a beautiful course through a nice park, by amazing old buildings with cool stone work, and some varying topography (my part of Manhattan is totally flat!). Great race!
My plan was to see how close I could get to 7:00 miles; I thought 7:00 was about my 5K pace right now. I knew there was a decent sized hill at the end of mile 1, but it was totally manageable. I finished the first mile in 7 flat. The rest of the course was mostly flat. My second mile was just under 7. The last mile started with a really nice downhill. This allowed me to recover and finish fast. The last mile point one was at about 6:35 pace.
I was really happy to race again. First one since February 2015! On the other hand, my average pace was 6:55 - which was roughly my 2014 half marathon pace. I guess I also have to take into account the weather - 80 F with 58% humidity, sunny, but no wind. Still, lots of room for improvement. And hopefully the improvements will come without more injuries!
Plus 16 miles on bike today. 8 miles to race and 8 miles home; subway service on weekends is terrible!

| Ran the local turkey trot at my parents house with both Mom and Dad.
Splits:
1 - 6:39
2 - 6:53
3 - 5:29 (short course - pace was 7:02)
I thought I was in much better shape than overall average pace of 6:51. Not much faster than the 5K I ran over the summer. I ran at a pretty good effort, probably could have run a litte bit faster... I think my 10K and HM paces have improved, but I haven't focused on fast running at all. I have been pretty much running easy full time, but in the last month, I've added one track work out a week of longer intervals. Am going to switch over to shorter/faster intervals to imporve my fast paces.
Even though I was disappointed in my time, I really enjoyed the race. After I finished, I ran my dad in. He finished in 27:30, and then I ran my mom in. She finished in 35. Great day!

| Taking a page out of Jake's recent entry about keeping shape by easy run mileage and 200m track workouts once a week. I did a track workout at Chelsea Piers 10x200m at mile pace (6:00 pace). Was going for 44 seconds. This was a tough workout. Legs were tired, but lungs could have gone for more reps!
