Getting Back in the Game

My toe injury is continuing to improve as I am getting back into running. My first couple attempts were cut short by ankle and toe pain--I think I need to do calf and ankle exercises daily to help maintain stability. I could tell those muscles atrophied a bit, since they are not used much while biking. I went for a couple seven mile runs over the last four days though, the first in 1h 58 seconds and the second in 58min 28 seconds. My toe and ankles were feeling significantly improved during the second run, so I feel like I'm getting back on track with my training. I really want to get back to the point where i can start pushing for better times without fear that my joints will fall apart. I think I will try to do a longer run 10-13.1 this weekend at a steady pace and see how things go.

The kickball team got another win last Tuesday against another undefeated team. Woot... Hopefully we will have similar results tomorrow.
