Check yoself

I've had a pretty successful build up so far considering it's been a year since i've had any semblance of a training mentality, or weekly mileage greater than 15 miles for that matter. Did my longest run to date since then at 12 miles last sunday with big ant in the enchanted trails. i felt pretty good apart from a slight strain in my knee which i believed to have been caused by very tight hamstrings. I stretched pretty good this past week while only running a handful of times and the knee is significantly better.

A shadow of my former and not-so-distant undisciplined self emerged saturday night when i went to visit my sister at college and ended up with 3-4 hours of very interrupted sleep while consuming a liberal amount of shitty college keg beer thus causing me to abandon my plans for a nostalgic harrisonburg long run lest i be stupid and hurt myself.

Now that all systems appear go again after a week down i'm prepared to keep getting strong and healthy having started with a lift during lunch yesterday and a crisp 40 minute run last evening followed by a standard lunch time 6 today.
