I'm back

Well, my 3 months of waiting to train is complete. I am far from 100%, but I am on my way back to being in the shape I was before my surgery. I actually did my first run four days before I had scheduled to return. I just couldn't wait to get back at it.

My first run was 4 miles this last Saturday and did a 6 mile run the next day. I'm not going to lie. It was slow and pretty uncomfortable. I also started training with Marquis Monday. That really hurt. I am feeling better all the time, but the progress is very slow.

I will be working with Marquis three days a week and also doing my training runs five days a week. My first run this week was yesterday and I was able to do 6 miles in a little over and hour. I was exhausted after it was over.

My training sessions with Marquis are similar to what I was doing before. Sprints, strength training with muscle confusion along with boxing and core work. I have no idea what I will be doing when I show up. That is what helps the muscle confusion.

I started a 4 mile run today, but I guess I developed some chaffing last night and I noticed it on my run today. I ended up cutting it down to 3 miles and I will make up that mile on my run tomorrow. I signed up for our local Turkey Trot and going to do the 10 mile run.

I feel with the training runs I have done so far, that I will okay to do the 10 miles this Saturday. I will be running Sunday also. My running training plan is very intense so I will be prepared for my 100 mile race this February. No time to to rest from here on out. I have been waiting for this for a long time.

I gained 20 pounds in my healing period that I am going to get off as fast as possible. When you go from training to flat on your back, it hit me hard and I couldn't do anything about it. Glad to be back, will shout at you all in a few days.
