PM: 9.5 miles solo at 7:30 pace.  Finally feeling like my old self, just without the endurance and speed.  So I guess not like my old self.  At least running is fun again, and that's all that matters.

Dude, when did you get injured? I totally missed this. I thought you were gone.

Well, welcome back!

Good to see you here again. Remind us what injury you incurred. Be patient, running is just part of who you are.

Hey guys, thanks for the support! I had an anterior tibialis muscle tear (on the front, lower leg) and a partial tear of the accompanying tendon. The injury kind of felt like shin splints, but if I tried to stand on the one leg I'd basically just fall down.

10/10 would recommend. :)

But I've started running again, and I've got to tell you- running is hard...

And this was back at the end of July. I misunderstood my body and thought adding hills was the same as adding speed, not truly realizing how much they worked different parts of my muscles harder.

Hills - How do you train for them, without injury? Floridians want to know. I get what you're saying about hills do not equal sprints. It's a hard lesson to learn, though.

Standing on one foot is overrated. It's a marketing ploy from "Big Stork."

You'll be back to your old super-fast self in no time!
