Over 6 miles again

OMG.....Its been so long, I don't understand how I can run so well one day then nothing the next. I worked the late shift tonight again. (8AM till 9:30 tonight) Had to try and run after work. The temp was great & felt ok. I planned on a 5k, but turned into 6.5 miles. That's the farthest I've run since hurting my left knee at the Maumee Duathlon. Last week I ran a few days and the left knee made me stop again. I just don't understand it. Oh well, it felt great tonight.

Its been a while

I've been very bad, Its been way to long since I've logged onto this blog. May its because I really haven't been running up to par lately. I did the Carey, Ohio 5K the other day. It wasn't to bad, I ran it in 23:00 flat. That's faster than last year, but I feel 100% sure I could do much better if my ankle and knee would get back to normal.
I worked the late shift again tonight at work. Went in at 8:00 AM and left at 9:15 tonight. I find it very hard to attempt to go to bed right when I get home, So I put my running shoes on and did a quick 4.21 miles in 36:05.....I feel much better now. I've been attempting to keep my miles down. Even if I'd love to run farther, I know its the best thing for my body now. I run about every other day, then bike and walk. I've been getting 30 to 40 miles on the bike per week. about 5 miles walking and 10 to 17 miles running. That's not bad, but It's a far cry from the 40 miles weeks I did earlier this year. Oh well, I'm always feeling positive.
