Baby Steps

So, Sunday has come and it was time to run again for the LA Roadrunners.

This time the schedule called for 45 minutes (only time on the schedule).

I set out again dark and early. I had a little coughing again. This time though I did feel better in my quads (a little sore) and calves (not at all) and more importantly knee (not too bad). I also kept the brace off this time.

After the coughing began, I just decided to go slow again and just take it in as I ran. I was also thinking a great deal.

I kind of eased along a modified M1 route. The weather was not too bad; so, that helped.

I was a little disappointed; but, the turboboost thoughts just were not coming and I thought it best to save energy for a hard week. (The Group 7 SPL said he even though Sundays were optional). I felt slow. kind of taking baby steps.

I made it home after a spell. It was more just a stretch-the-legs trot than anything. Still, as slow as I was, my time was a bit better than last Sunday on a longer time ... so, baby steps of progress.

This might be what it will take to do the Los Angeles Marathon ... baby steps upon baby steps.
