I had my first "long run" this morning. it wasn't very long. just four miles. but I'm going to ease back into things slowly in light of my recent (and recent being last spring) injury and lack of running as of late. so over the next few weeks I'll do some 4's, 6's, 8's before hitting up any double-digit runs.
my ankle/heal was hurting slightly in the beginning. I was running up a hill, which might be partly to blame for this whole mess anyway. (that's just a theory) my body felt tight and slow. my shoulders/arms wouldn't relax--they were sore from carrying a giant tube up along side a river all day.
I came home and stretched, rolled out the muscles, but no ice. I probably should've iced the ankle/heal. oh well.

As you gradually add the distance, I'm sure you'll find your groove again. Keep listening to your body - and enjoy everything that comes with those longer runs (I'm looking forward to that myself as I get going with a half training plan)!
So what is on the horizon? What race or races are you thinking of doing? Good luck, keep training hard!
Way to go! I know you're a seasoned runner, but I'm really impressed with the control you have over yourself. Lots of people would have just jumped right back in, especially after you've run a marathon recently, but you're so smart! Good goin'!
