Today was my first day back on the roads in 8 days. Aubrey and I ran just a little over 3 miles in a loop around the house. I was really encouraged that my knee felt okay through most of it however I could have played a John Denver ditty on my IT Band once we went past 2 miles. Man, it got tight!! I just need to keep working it out and it will be fine I think. I also need to focus on getting more quad strength so I am going to work on the elliptical as well as some good plyometrics.
Aubrey seems to be determined to "get back into it" since he has only run 5 or 6 times since Rocky back in February. We plan on going for another 3-5 miles tomorrow so we'll see how we both do.
