Then I had a couple of bad weeks back-to-back where I think all I got in was one swim workout.<\/p>\n<p>When I got back to running this week, I could tell that I\u2019d have to pay the price for that.  And unfortunately, I am\u2026 big time.  To put it mildly, my body has not been happy with me since I got back to running.  <\/p>\n<p>To illustrate what I mean, while I\u2019ve never been a strong runner (1st full mile was in 2013), I\u2019ve been able to put together run\/walk miles with more ease this year prior to the break.  The first run was a painful mile out and I had to walk the mile back.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s gotten better since then, but it\u2019s not yet where I need it to be.  I can\u2019t read my phone\u2019s screen when I\u2019m running, but I could have sworn I heard it say an 11:21 mile yesterday.  Regardless of what it says now, I need to be able to put 3.1 miles together in the 34-35 min range when it\u2019s race time.  Doing the math, that\u2019s what I need to be in the ballpark for a Nationals Qualifying time.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see how it all turns out.  First outdoor race of the season is Leon\u2019s in Hammond on 6\/5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In late April, I had gotten back to a routine where I was running at least twice a week in addition to swimming.
