Sunday I ran 17 miles on a treadmill. This is not typically how I would choose to complete a long run, but I didn't want to risk an achilles flare up. My goal was to run for as long as I could pain free and switch to the arc trainer. I was anticipating 10-12 miles, still long for a treadmill run, but not unmanageable. Since my achilles never bothered me, I completed the entire 17 miles on the treadmill, and now I'm ready to take on any run!
I took Monday as a day of rest, and today I plan to do a 10 miler from work, including the Newton hills. I have to get back out there sometime, and after nearly a month of indoor training, I'm ready for a run in the fresh air. I plan to take it slow and just enjoy the scenery. We'll see how it goes!
