I did it, I finally did it! I had my first run post Ironman! Truthfully it was my first workout period, but hey…that’s okay, right? The gloom in the skies cleared for a short period today around the lunch hour and I just happened to have my running gear in the office. I changed, pulled my Ironman Canada finisher’s hat down on my head and took off to meet Kelly.
She had her Garmin on but I was just wearing my Timex. I didn’t want to look at any numbers as this was my first run back. No expectations. At first my right knee felt a little niggly, just in the muscles around the side of my knee into my quad. By 12 minutes in those niggles were gone and I was actually feeling pretty good! We chatted the whole way and 34 minutes flew by. Not bad for the first run back really!
My bike is hiding behind a stack of moving boxes in the garage and I’ve put my membership at the YMCA on hold for a short period so I’m not too sure when I’ll be biking or swimming again though…

A run! Wow, good for you! I've swum and did a really short bike yesterday. Maybe I'll run this weekend. Maybe.
Must have felt nice to get out there again! Glad it went well.
Nice work!
I am sure it felt great to get out there and run again! You deserved that break!
Yay! Glad it went smoothly. No need to rush into things and I know you'll be busy planning a little shindig :)
Its good to workout if nothing other that to wear the FINISHER'S hat! Because we are Ironman Finishers!!! I love that. While I am running, I think about that and it makes me smile.
A little niggly????? I had to Google that..... Glad it went good.
