Most importantly - I am running again!!!! In somewhat related news, I am re-starting week 3 of 100 push-up challenge tomorrow as well. I will also be running four miles tomorrow after my "rest day" today.
I ran 3 miles yesterday (though I said I wouldn't run before the 29th) just to get a feel for my capabilities and to see if my femur was healed/healing.
That was my first run of ANY distance in 6 weeks and it felt great to hit the streets again!
Here are the notes I entered in my running log:
11:17
8:33
8:02
I promised myself before I ran that I would do 3 miles MAX as I am "allowed" to start running on 7/29. During the run I felt winded during lap 2 and heavy limbed during 3rd lap. It was hot, I am out of shape (after 6 weeks of no running whatsoever) and I am on a carbohydrate restricted diet.
My plan is now to run every other day the first week with 4 miles each day and a long run of 8 on Sunday.
Speed work & 12 week program for the Flying Monkey begin on September 1, 2008 (no speed work before 1Sep2008)

Stupid 43things.com and their user-based spam reporting. All it takes is a user submission and a robot to get a "maybe" on spam posts.
HTFU bDubs. 53 pushups.
Training for the Monkey? Totally useless.
