I found it......

I've been working on getting back into running and for me it's a slow process. I start out and things hurt. There is a progression to the pain and it almost always follows the same pattern. My feet hurt, then my knee, then my back, finally my periformis muscle. It happens every time to varying degrees. This time it wasn't too bad but I ran into another wrinkle with my knee. Anyway, I've been running pretty consistently for the past 4 weeks and overall feeling good. Tonight I stopped for my run on my way home and headed out. The first interval was hell. I thought I was going to die. Of course it doesn't help that the humidity and vog is absolutely killer. Anyway, the point of this post is that I found my running pace. In the past 4 weeks I haven't been able to find that pace. You know. That pace that feels absolutely effortless. That pace that makes you feel like a rock star. That pace that feels like you could go forever. I was afraid I wasn't able to get it these past weeks. But tonight I found it!!!!
