Walk-run (mostly walk) in the cold rain at SHS. Thought the legs might be loose after a 3-mile warmup. Nope.

Slow walk at SHS. Chilly and windy but really not bad. Legs behaved.

1 a.m. treadmill walk at work, under 50 minutes. I gradually increased the pace as I went and the final 3.8 was probably a bit too fast; I'm feeling it now in the flexors. But I guess I need to strain the flexors a bit to get them to respond.

OK, so I walked 2.9 and jogged for 2.5 minutes. Better than I've been doing, and the flexors didn't bark (yet). So I count this as progress.

Easy hour on the treadmill in between beeps. Original plan was 2.5 but I kept extending it as more interruptions happened. Flexor was tight to start but seemed to loosen a little.

Treadmill after work. Actually ran a mile nonstop, walked a bit, ran another half mile, then walked to finish 30 minutes so I could get home and get to sleep. It went OK. Legs stiff and sore; zero surprise there.

Walk along the riverfront with Chelle. First time I've been down there. Cold north wind to negotiate, but a very nice trail. I'll have to run it soon.

Two miles nonstop run at SHS. Temp about 30, wind chill well below that. Chelle came out there with me, bailed within 10 minutes. Don't blame her. Even so, got relatively warm within two miles, enough to pull the headband off the ears and slide the sleeves down. Could have removed the gloves too. I'm way out of shape, but slowly making progress.
