The Life and Times of the Watters Family

First Day Back On The Trail

It felt really good to get back out there. Today was the first day of a re-started Stage Five: Jog 5 min/Walk 5 min; repeat twice. Because my route is out-and-back, it always takes me more than the prescribed amount of time. There are two jogging legs going out, and only one coming back in. I guess I need to turn around sooner. The knee felt pretty good, but the route I’ve been taking is uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back, and jogging back down the hills hurts a little. I may need to find a new route.

I left the house a little earlier (5:45 am) than usual this morning. I think I like training at that time better. Fewer people on the trails. Also, as Summer gets closer and closer, it’s getting lighter and lighter at that time so early doesn’t necessarily mean dark like it did even a month ago.

Preliminary Training - Stage 5 - Day 1

Distance	3 mi
Time	35 min

Since I wasn’t updating for the first couple of weeks, I’ll mark this as my official starting point for record keeping purposes. Here is some reference info as I begin. I’ll start with these three, and update every so often. Maybe weekly? Anyway, I don’t know if I should keep track of more stuff or not. If so, I’ll add it when I know about it.
