I wanted to run a few days in a row. In my mind I want to work myself up to running about six days a week, Monday through Friday running short distances and before work, followed by Saturday with a longer run. Right now, I am using small distances just not to get so beat up. I am only running a slow two miles. However, I am running on the curb, because I can get out of the house quickly, without having to drive somewhere.

Today was day two of running. It was much harder than day one, because I got out at 9:00am and the temperature was 80-85. Second, my calf started to talk to me. I backed off the pace (10:27, compared to 10:10 from yesterday).  To me, the pace is good for a “return to run” status. At times, I want to “kick” it up, but I have to tell myself that I need to work in to it.

Also, the reward at the end of the run was Starbuck’s. Today, it was a tall (Starbuck talk for small), Iced-Coffee.
