Week one of the Runner’s World training guide that I mentioned here is now in the books. The 25 miles seemed pretty light, but I don’t want to rush things and get hurt again, so I just stuck to what they said to do. The second week is almost exactly the same, so it should be smooth-sailing for now.

The knee seems to be mostly back to normal, but the heels continue to hurt a little. I put the longer shoe laces back on the Kinvaras, as the Boston ones kept coming untied. I also tried the new lacing method Jake referred me to (see here) and it does seem to improve blood circulation. My shins were also a little sore today at the end of nine, but they are fine now.

Happy (and very thankful) to be building up the mileage chart again!
