Apparently, before you officially start training for a race, you should do some "pre-training." Our coaches have been handing out the pretraining schedules at all the Team Challenge info sessions. I decided this morning (thanks to a work snow delay) that maybe I should actually try running again.
June 4, 2010 I had minor knee surgery that kept me from running the second half of 2009 and all of 2010. The Wine Country Half Marathon on June 4, 2011 is my comeback race!
Okay back to this morning...
So I hopped on the treadmill (in my very old running shoes) unsure of what would come out of the next 35 minutes. I ended up feeling great, knees and all. I had some minor foot pain when I was done but I'm attributing that to the shoes - which will be replaced at my first official training run on February 12.
All in all, this pre-training thing ain't so bad. I hope to get in a few more really short runs prior to training and will continue building up my knee strength with weights and balance activities.
