On a beautiful, brisk, breezy, \u00a0early December afternoon I decided to test my foot on a favorite local road course. This run consists of two miles of gently rolling hills out and back on Pittinger Pond Road. \u00a0 I had not run on roads or hills or more than three miles in over two months. \u00a0I approached the effort with trepidation, vowing to abort on the first sign of pain or soreness. \u00a0Happy to report that I \u00a0completed the four miles in under 50 minutes (49:55) with all systems A-OK! \u00a0 Miles got progressively quicker; 14:17, 12:02, 11:59, & 11:46.<\/p>\n
I’m very pleased with this run. \u00a0 Iced and golf ball\u00a0rolled for proactive foot care.<\/p>\n
