Back to Square One….
So yesterday I decided that a run would be in order. The knee seems to be sufficiently healed to set out on the training regimen again. Also, I was in a situation that I thought best to avoid on a bicycle – extremely rare, I know. I re-started my Hal Higdon program with a 30 minute walk/run. I must admit that being out there was invigorating, although i really do hate that activity alot. Against my better judgement, I hit the road before breakfast. I figured since it was only 30 minutes, no big deal. It was a nice, warm day even though the wind was kicking up between 23 and 29 mph! Man, the rest of the day I was starving! I ate like crazy all day! It all worked out fine.
Today is the first day of Daylight Saving Time! YAY! I managed to get in a little 1 hour ride with some hills. It was not a high-quality ride. I was short on sleep, hydration, and proper food, but a bad day on a bike is better than a good day in many other places. Average HR for the hour was 135. Knocked out about 1200 calories. 82 degrees!

I was with my son, Matthew, at a local sports store, looking at all the shoes I can not afford when I saw a small, yet bold, advertisement for “Run Easy”. It said:
A 10-MINUTE MILE IS JUST AS FAR AS A 6-MINUTE MILE.
