I ran 1 mile and I'm sore

I ran 1 mile yesterday at my PT visit and I'm sore today. I guess that is what taking 6 months off of running will do to you. My quads are feeling it the most but my ankles and shins are a bit sore as well. It felt good to run though. I'm still having heel pain but with my orthodics and some neuromuscular and mechanics work, my PT thinks I can start to run while letting my heel heal at the same time. I was on my feet a lot the last 2 days and my heel wasn't hurting as much because of me thinking about modifying my mechanics. I think I'm on the right path!

I weighed in at 184 on Friday and then 185.5 on Monday. Sucks, but I'm still 14 pounds down on where I was in January. I rode for about 2 hours nice and easy which was fine. This weekend, I want to go a bit harder though. I also put in about 2200m in the pool on Sunday. My shoulder was fine. I didn't loose that much speed, but I did lose a lot of endurance. It felt really good though and I'll get the endurance back soon enough. I'm going to shoot for about 2 swims per week and keep lifting weights for my shoulder.

Bad May

I had a pretty bad month exercise wise. My left shoulder started acting up again which prevented me from swimming for most of the month. However, the gym at work opened back up and I've been doing exercises to strengthen it. I just didn't work out that much the entire month and my lack of weight loss showed it. I was pretty much flat the entire month fluctuating between 185 and 187. I'm trying to buckle down, eat less crap, and exercise more. I actually ate pretty well this month but it was the exercising that I've been negligent at lately. I've been working on the house on the weekends and during the week it has just been hot after work. Riding isn't bad but it still isn't comfortable. Oh, my bike is screwed up at the moment as well. It is in my car right now and it is going to the shop after work today. Something is wrong with the headset and it doesn't like to turn very well. Not good. I'll get it fixed and be riding next weekend though or use Fiona instead.
