Back in the saddle

Brad has reentered the running world!

He was really wasted after running 26.2 miles (imagine that!) but took just a few days to feel much better. 

Except his left calf. 

That pesky muscle was probably a little strained and needed extra time to recover. I applaud Brad's restraint in getting back in the saddle!

He did some other exercise but avoided running - even though he really wanted to get outside. Last night, he agreed to go with me on a short, slow run to ease back into it.

After watching the presidential debate on OPB, we donned our reflective gear and took off for a few miles around the neighborhood. We stuck with 3.46 miles at a 9:22 average:

I felt good, gaining confidence for my upcoming PR attempt. Brad also felt good getting out and testing his legs. YAY!

We're planning another shortie tonight :)
