First Day Back

It is the first day back after a month and 1/2 of being sidelined with a nasty case of runner's knee. I ran a little over 3 miles on a flat soft surface and my mind did not leave my right knee despite my mp3 player, the wedding in the park, and the wonderful September day. Everything went as well as could be imagined. I did not time myself because I did not want to let ego let my knee go. (Rhyming intended).
This blog serves the function of keeping me honest and sharing my progress with others. I currently do not have a specific race in mind because it is still a little too early for me to assume my knee is back to 100%.
On my mp3 today was "Swiss army romance" by dashboard confessional. This was the perfect music because it the energy definitely pushes you and on a short run the fact that most of the songs are no more than 3 minutes gives variety that will keep you accelerated.
Hopefully this will be the start of a journey that will culminate with a race, but until then I will keep you updated on progress.

Thanks
