Training for the Relay is a starting over of sorts for me. I've had knee pain and a tonsillectomy that required me to take a long time off. So I'm starting over and I want to start over right. I'm reading a book on running to make sure I don't cut any corners.
About four weeks ago I started out thinking I could jog/walk, but again it brought knee pain. So I decided just to walk for 2 weeks for about 30 minutes/day. Last week I changed to walk 4 minutes, jog 2. I repeated that 5 times. To my excitement there was no knee pain. Wednesday I increased to walk 3, jog 3. Again no knee pain. I'm really excited about this, it is hard not to push it right now, but I know I just have to keep going slowly. I'll keep at this pace until next Wednesday.
My speed is horrible, I'm jogging at 4.5 on the treadmill, trying to be cautious. I'm excited to blog here and hopefully see my improvement in time for the relay.
