This is a small milestone, but it IS a milestone Yesterday after my group training session, I decided to do a little light running as yesterday we focused on form and didn't have time for metabolic work. For the first time I was able to run for a half-mile without stopping! It took about 5 minutes, and I crossed the AT threshold for about half of that but I actually felt pretty good with no complaints from my hamstring. My body is accustomed to longish periods of time of anaerobic work anyway.

I felt like I could have done at least 200 more meters, but it was time to hit the showers for work. I've long been able to run further on the trail without having to break, but this is the first time I've been able to run on the track for that long without a break. This bodes well for the trails once they thaw out and things warm enough for me to get out there!
