 FORTY MINUTES. Even my KNEES hurt. *glee!*

My tendon is tightening up already. But this run is notable for two reasons. One, it's the first time I've hit 40min since the injury. It was done in twilight, on grass and roads, and a bit on concrete. Two, I felt like I could've done more. I didn't, because even at my slow shuffle of "please don't re-

Yay! **throws confetti** That's excellent. It's always hard to come back after an injury (mentally as well as physically) and slow and steady is usually the best way.

Woooo! Yep, it totally is. I never thought I was going to be able to run this far again (in the beginning, I could barely do three steps without pain), and I'm absolutely thrilled.

If I was local, I'd train with you. I adore triathlon, though I find running excrutiating.

And it's great to see you up and training again. It's so important for the well-being.

Hee, I'm just the opposite... swimming's the toughest one for me. But if we ever live in the same place, we should train for one together! It's so much easier if you have a partner. That's the only way I ever made it through marathon training... one of my best buddies was running it with me, and we didn't get bored with each other over all those miles.

Are you still doing your hill walking?

That's so true. Support is vital, especially when it's something you hate.

I'm not even walking for the past few weeks. I've started a new job and the clocks went back last week, so walking at night is out the question. On the days I'm not working I'm doing housework or running errands. I'm still losing weight, but if I can't work some kind of exercise in the schedule, I'll lose my condition and I don't want to do that.

It's not just that - I like the zen of being out where the wild things are - helps me cope with batshit colleagues. I'm snippy with everyone because I need my zen.
