It has been a while since I have been on the blog. Surprised I remember how to even log on. Took another break with the ankle. I have never had an injury like this where I have to take more than a day or two off of running. Began running today with the promise I would take it easy and go no more than 4 miles. Felt good a ran 5. Don't want to push it so I will be in the single digits for the next few weeks while I try to build the ankle back up. Hard to not run farther. Felt good today so I haven't lost all of my fitness using the bike.

Easy miles at work again. Can't tell what the ankle is doing. Sure hope these weeksof light running are doing the trick. Not only have I become a lazy runner my blog post have been suffering.

Nice day to run. I think the elbow is finally on the mend. I think if I build the miles up slow I will be back at it. The better weather has been nice to run in. I wish we could do something about this wind.

I hate to call these easy miles. When Alexander and I left this morning for the run the wind was howling and it began to rain half way through the run. Other than that it was a great run. Nice to run with someone where the conversation is easy it makes the miles fly by.

Got home this morning from work and watched the Boston Marathon. What a great race this year. After a couple hours of sleep I got up for a quick run. The weather was perfect for a run. Quite a few people out burning leaves and canal banks so it was smokey at times other than that it felt like spring is finally here.

A quick eight miles before work. The wind was ridiculous when I went out. Looks like this weather is here for the next few days.

Another windy day. Ran in tights and a running jacket today. Crazy to think that yesterday I ran in a t shirt and shorts. Felt really good and the ankle seems to be holding up. So hopefully the slow build up is working. Tomorrow Melanie and I are going to get in her ten mile training run.

Ran down Sunnyside Road this morning with Melanie. She needed to run a ten miler for her training program. We decided to run early to avoid the wind and so myparents could watch the girls. Perfect weather to run. The wind didn't pick up until we made it home. It was nice to see some other runners out.

Got up early to run with Alexander. He was hoping to run ten miles before work so we set off with that as our goal. The wind was very minimal with a light rain at times. Ended up being a great run. It is always good to get out and run with a friend. The miles pass easy with conversation.

Ran today at work outside. I was able to time it just right before the weather changed and we had a hail storm. Felt good and the ankle seems to be holding up nicely.

Ran today at work. It was a little later in the day than what I was use to but it was nice to get it in. Had to stay close to the facility so I was forced to run laps around the perimeter. Felt really good today. Fought the wind but it wasn't as bad as I expected.

Ran around the facility again at work. Felt really strong although the wind really started to pick up toward the end of the run. A lot cooler outside than I initially thought ended up having to go find a jacket to finish. Looking forward to the next few days off of work.
