Temporary Break

I haven't posted in a long time. I keep re-injuring my knee, so I'm done running, at least for now.

Long Time No Blog

I haven't done ANY running so far this year. Until today that is. Well, actually I was taking Ares for a walk last night and it ended up being a short run. My knee felt fine; granted it was only a few blocks.

So, today I decided I was going to try an actual, planned run. Ares and I are both so out of shape! I have some new shoes I purchased a few months ago from a running shop. So, Ares and I got up and around and decided to go for it.

It was just a short run -- only two miles. And the last mile was much slower, with a lot of fast walking mixed in. The funny thing is that Ares got tired, too.

My knee was doing fine until we got home. Ares decided to chase a squirrel. He got the leash wrapped around a tree and actually had the squirrel by the tail! I strained a bit getting him away from it. My knee is OK, but I can feel it a bit. But I'm hoping it's just a "twinge", and that's something I can live with.

I hope this is the renewal of my running. I have really missed it. I am going to try to very slowly work back into this. My plan for this week is to run a few days, and keep them short runs.

Gotta run ...
