Title: Just starting up again
Post by: TK on December 09, 2014, 12:38:02 PM
Hello, I don't post often anymore, and certainly not in the running forum, but I have been trying to get back into running after a couple years away.  Was doing to C25K up to about 5 or 7 minute running segments, then had to have a mole removed on my back (twice) and have had stitches on and off for 4 weeks. 

I just ran again today in San Diego, was a perfect place to live, and I LOVE running here.  It was perfect.

Not sure what exactly the point of this all was, other than to make myself accountable.

Hey TK!  Are you doing the C25K again?  I am doing it now, but I'm changing it up a bit.  I'm using the Zenlabs app.

Hi TK!

I just started again after the broken toe.  And then twisted my ankle, so just started again, again.  I think I did 6/10 of a mile last night.  We did 4/10 a couple of days ago.  And 2/10 the first time back.  It was all my dog could handle either, so good enough.

I've been working like crazy and dealing with school.

Had an opportunity to buy a company so that was taking a ton of my time.

Thought about moving to Chicago for a new job, but that didn't pan out.

I'm in San Diego for work for the week, not for good.

Yes, doing the C25K, I'm just using an old spread sheet I had.  I gave up on trying to do it myself and move forward faster, it worked for me 10 years ago so I gave it another go.

Ouch.  A rough few weeks.  How did you brake the toe?

I was just looking for a good hotel in SD; I am going there in 2015. Any recommendation on reasonably priced place?  (Holiday Inn category)

Tripped over a floor fan on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  Back in July.  The day before my vacation to Belgium and Netherlands (where I walked a ton anyway because I paid a lot of money to go there!)  It seemed like it stayed sore for a long time.   Twisted the ankle hiking on Veteran's Day.  It's still a little sore too, but if I wait until nothing hurts, I'll never do ANYTHING!

No.  I'm at the Sheraton Marina, and it is not worth the price.   To be honest, I would stay anywhere here.  Parking is so easy everyplace and you can just drive to the beach in no time.

I remember that now, well the toe bit.  Hope it feels better soon.

I started up again recently too, after a calf issue that seemed to last forever.  I wish I was running in San Diego and not New York   ;)

Thanks man.  Just ran again!  :runner:  Not sure I'll be as excited to run when I get back home to the cold and snow.

I ran for the first time since before my pregnancy (well, I might have run once or twice in March).  I did a modified version of Couch to 5k...tried to do abit more than the first week, but not too much (ran for 2 min instead of 1.)  I won't actually be able to run again until Monday, though, due to schedules and stuff.  It was fricking hard.
