Running again

Last night it was 60 plus in Denver, which maybe our warm weather high so far this year.

I went for a run and was excited as I ran a decent time for me...two ten minute miles (For runners nine minute miles is the new average/decent time). A co-worker talked me into running the Boulder Boulder which I have not done since 2003. The Boulder Boulder is a 10k and is one of the races that draws in a large amount of runners. In 2010 or 2011 they had 54,000 participants.

I ran inconsistently over the next few years and started training for a half marathon late 2005. I did not register on time so I did not run it and in 2006 I had a bad ankle sprain that was resprained in 2007. 2008 I sprained my opposite ankle and the next couple years I did not run consistently as I still had pain. I ran off and on last year without pain so I am hoping to stay healthy and be able to train & run this year.

This year will be four years since my last ankle sprain so I would like to be able to run a few more 10ks & possibly a half marathon! We shall see how much abuse my body can take.
