Running again (sort of)

I’m so thankful that the pain in my knee seems to be gone! I’m taking it very slow and working through the couch to 5k program again. I’m accelerating it a little because I think I’m just going to run every other day instead of 3 times a week. So, some weeks that will be 3 times and some weeks it will be 4. It’s been hot, but I have a water bottle and it’s really not that bad since I’m only running for 90 seconds at a time right now!

If I’m feeling good, I may try to do the nickle dickle race in Waconia in September, but I’m not training for anything right now. It’s just in the back of my mind as a possibility.

We spent some time at the park this afternoon and I was able to get some good photos:

I think we’re going to do a beach morning tomorrow! With Nathan along it’s always more fun! I do less calling out, “Don’t go out so far!”

    I’m so glad you can run again. I’ve been working back into it, too. Right now I run a little under half of my 30 minutes, alternating with race walking. I think I went about 2 1/2 miles in my 30 minutes this a.m. I run on the track on Tuesday and Thursday, so I know how far I go and how fast, but on Saturday I just run out about 16 minutes, then run back.

    I love the pictures. They are all super expressions and well laid out pictures (in my non-expert opinion.) Thanks for sending some of them to my frame. If it isn’t too much trouble, could you send the other two, too. (Ethan and Isaac in the “hole.”) Thanks.

    I too think these photos are fantastic and would like a copy to put on my cabinet at school.
