I went for my first long run since my IM. It was hard and didn't feel very good, but I ran 8 miles, although not very quickly. I've lost so much speed. It's definitely a goal to get my speed back to where it was pre-IM training.
Temp was in the low 30's, so kinda chilly- but I love to run in the cold.

Btchance- we want details about your race!!!!!

seychelle- sorry to hear about your injuries! Keep at it, and you'll be recovering in no time. Don't give up on long distance running- it may take time, but don't give up if you love it. As for biking, it's quite addicitve, and you may find that if you're biking and running you can give your legs a rest while you still have fun out there on the road.
