Todde's Tri Blog

this morning i got that first dreaded yet much anticipated run out of the way. 3 weeks ago i ran my 1st marathon and nothing since. i wanted to rest the legs and let an injury heal. still not sure if the injury to my right leg has healed completely but i needed to get back to running for lubbock. ran 4miles today at the local track. i really prefer the track b/c its easy to pace myself and its easier on the knees. this was my first run of the year in humidity and man it was rough. i went out at a 8min pace and held it thru out. at one point i picked up the pace to mid 7s but i quickly slowed back to 8. it felt good to run but i noticed a little fatigue in the legs. i think its from the time off as well as the weights and biking this past week. i really just wanted to get that run feel back and shake off the dust. i will get a tranny run in tomorrow and i few more easy runs next week b4 getting back to tempo and interval runs.
