Two Miles Today... Woo Hoo!

I knocked out two miles early this morning, the first ones since the 'neck thing' a little over a week ago. 
I'm back in the saddle back in the Sauconys!  Woo Hoo!


Felt good to have the running shorts on and running shoes laced  up. Sweet! 
It was tough to roll out at 5:00 am, but I*made*myself*do*it(!). 



Stuck to the treadmill (controlled speeds and soft landing to protect the neck/back).  Warmed up with a 1/2 mile walk, did 1-minute speed intervals for a mile, and cooled down with a super-slow pace (fast walk/slow run) for another 1/2 mile.  Yay!  Baby steps....



Happy running, friends....
