Racehorse running again!
Earlier this year, when I was trying to start running again after my last little break, courtesy of my knee, I had a loop that I ran with my puppy, around the back of a race course. The Puppy absolutely loved it, I swear he use to think he was a racehorse! When the mornings started to get darker I stopped doing this route as there was no lights and it was pretty lonely, plus I would have needed to run it twice to get the distance I required. This morning Puppy and I went for and reestablished ourselves on the racecourse loop. It took me 35mins, I think I use to do it in 32, however this time did include a short walk of about 500meters to stretch my knee out a bit. I now have a plan of attack for each week;
1 x racecourse run
1 x longer weekend run
3 x morning walks with puppy and Mr Chelle
Will do that for a couple of weeks and get really serious about my stretching etc and then hopefully up the pace a bit!

Good to see you back Chelle ;-)
And here I was thinking that you had abandanoned us to become a full time party hostess in Fiji!!!
Surely he can't be still a puppy? You've been away for months - or did you freeze him whilst you were gone???? lol
I like your plan. That will build a strong base for later on and allow the knee to get some strength. It is the off season after all.
Looks like a good plan. Maybe my three and a half days' running a week is too much?
Saw your posts on the BE board and thought I'd drop by. Thanks for the laughs and good luck with the running. I'm also trying to get back into it.
