My back was a bit tight, so I'm giving today's run a 3. The running was ok, but I didn't feel 100%.

Week 1, Day 2~ Doggy Style
Get your head out of the gutter! I brought my canine son along for the run today. It turns out he's about 6 pounds overweight and in need of a bit more cardio. So, I figured he might benefit from a little Couch to 5K action, as well. He did pretty well, despite getting tangled in the stroller wheel once and a nervous encounter with a hound during a potty break. Anywho, I think it was a success all in all! Here are the stats:

I'm Back! (Week 1, Day 1...Again...)
So, it's been a while since I've posted about running because, well, there hasn't been any running. After my totally sucky back injury in November, I have been sidelined. It's been a slow recovery, to say the least. I'm finally starting to feel stronger, so I decided today was as good a day as any to get back in the game.
Since we've been enjoying temps in the high 60s, I was itching to lace up my kicks and hit the streets. My ever concerned PT husband has warned me to ease very slowly back into running. It's been a good 6 months and I am coming back from a pretty significant injury, so I decided to start the Couch to 5K program from the beginning again. I figured it worked before, and it would definitely force me not to push myself too hard.
In addition to being antsy to get back to running, I was also excited to try out my new Garmin watch that Scotty-Boy got me for Christmas. This nifty little gadget keeps track of all sorts of running data that I hope someday will make sense to me. Here's a run-down of my "run:"

As you can tell, I was blazing fast (rolling eyes). It's all good though, because the most important thing to me is that I was out there, doing my thing. Plus, I had a really cute little buddy along for the ride!

Today's run gets a 2. I was slow as hell, but I felt pretty good all things considered. Fingers crossed I'm not wracked with pain tomorrow!
