Yesterday was my first time out for a run in about two months. I was on a bit of a roll in the summer, running 3x a week while pushing Astrid in her jogging stroller, but then my knee decided to conk out and I had to give it up for awhile. And then, just as it was getting better, life got hectic again and I couldn't find the time (or didn't have the energy). But now that Astrid is settling in to daycare (or, playcare, as we're brainwashing her to think of it), I have both time and energy. Wahey!
So, back to the run. It was a short one, from Astrid's playcare to home, but it felt pretty good. A distance of about 2.5km, with a pace time of a little under 7' per km. Admittedly, that's a lot slower than my normal pace, but I'm still feeling good about it. My quads are a little on the sore side today, so I will just stretch and walk on this, my day off, and go for another run tomorrow. Once around Parc Lafontaine is roughly 2.5km, so we'll aim for that and, if I feel good, maybe a bit more.
Slow and steady wins the race, right? If I can do this 10K under 60', I'll be delighted.

If I do this 10k under 60 minutes I will need to be tested for steroids or a secret jet-pack.
