I will say this... taking even a week off of the schedule is devastating. That first trip out again seemed impossible. Adding to this was likely the fact that the week was full of beers and burgers with friends. Too much good food, too little good activity...
That first 5Km was killer. The last bit was nothing more than a dull trudge, the ankles having long since ceased to perform.
The second kick at the can was much better. I certainly felt as though I was back in the saddle and in control of myself. The knees have yet to fully exhibit any serious pain, but I'm not yet sure where I stand. 5Km isn't really a good test-drive of how long they're going to hold up. In both of those runs, I could feel the right knee. Not as though it was particularly unhappy, but it was certainly letting me know that it was there. That said, my leg did feel pretty strong. We'll see.
Here's to a good upcoming week.
