part time runner

is how it feels right now. This spring has to have been one of the worst (barring times I've been injured) in terms of running frequency. On average I suspect it'll barely come out to more than once a week : - (

But, just for the record, I got out once since last weekend, on a cool evening starting as it got dark, around 8:15. Took GeoHannum to the trail entry, followed the rail trail (mainly flat and straight) all the way down to NoWash. St. and then back up into town, across the common and run as far as S & S -- a very tidy 10K as it turns out. I was wearing long training pants and full warm top, aiming to run gently and warm up as I ran.

So all in all a slow time, but I felt surprisingly fresh at the end. _Dead_ tired the following morning, however. Here's the details:

Time: 48:53
Speed: 7.7 mph
Distance: 6.28 miles

Comment: fair enough, I'm just ticking over. The numb leg thing seems to have gone for a bit, leaving in its stead some nerve soreness, and the knee is no better, but: nearly at the point when I can get time to run more regularly, and maybe biking to to help the knee.
