School of Running: Week Sept. 6-11

[indigoiis]

Howdy everyone! I ran my first run today (3 miles) since breaking my ankle (I've been on the bench for twelve weeks.)
I am so happy to be back.
My next event will be the Seacoast century ride next weekend. I am not that prepared for it since most of my miles were indoors on the trainer and scattered at best. Since getting back on the bike two weeks ago, I ramped up my mileage quite a bit and last week my longest ride was 60 (broken into two segments - in to work and home that night) and I think I'll be okay. Though I lost a lot of muscle mass on the left, it seemed to come back rather quickly with physical therapy (bless their hearts - you'd think they were trying to kill you) and keeping pace on the trainer.
My next running event will be in November. I'm not taking any chances racing sooner. I'm just going to slowly gear up to the 8 mile trail race November 20th. I love running trail, and I am really looking forward to it.
The Amica folks are awesome and allowed me to defer my 2010 marathon registration to 2011. So I will just go watch my DH run the half on October 16th.
