10.000.000.00

AM - 7 miles.

PM - 3 miles w/ Andrea.

I ran a mile this morning in seven minutes and fifteen seconds, which was my fastest mile in a month... by 20+ seconds.

My goal for the rest of April is to make some progress in the area of eliminating my mechanical limitations. Andrea has taken on the challenge of fixing me and I've committed to following her rehab program (for once). We started on easter. I imagine it will be at least a month or two before I am running "normal" so it will take some patience and consistency. No skipping steps, I want to be fully healthy again.

Good luck Jake. It really sucks getting that sick/injured and recovering. Patience truly is a virtue although easier said than done. I was out for 5 months for my achilles tear, now I'm back, faster than ever but it sure as hell took it's own time to heal.

Was that 7:15 from the starting blocks, or a running start? Certified?

Glad there is some progress - I guess in the big scheme of things, a few months is not a long time...except while you're going through it, probably feels like forever.

Skateboard start, Garmin* certified, 2 gels.

*so probably 7:22, which is still good! :-)

Yeah, that's what I meant - Garmin Certified. Is there any other kind?

There will be, once everyone has an apple watch.

Well, I'm not trading my Casio calculator watch for that piece of junk.
