Mentally, I'm ready to return to running. Physically, unfortunately, I'm not quite there yet. I've been recovering from a Achilles injury since late August, and while I've had a few pain free days in the past week, I think I need at least a few more weeks before taking my legs out for their first spin of 2015.
In the meantime, I will start updating my race calendar ("Runs I'm Considering") again with the hope that I'll be able to take on a 5K or two before summer. It'll probably be a few weeks before it's filled in, but hopefully it'll be back to being a good resource in a week or two (and certainly by the end of the month).
When I do get back to running, I'll be taking it slow. My plan is to go out for a mile for my first run, wait a week to make sure all is well, and then go out for another mile. If all that goes smoothly, I'll start running twice a week slowly increasing the time that I run. Hopefully I'll be up to roughly a 5K by the end of March.
Other than working on my race calendar, there won't be much in the line of updates in the next few weeks until I'm reading to hit the pavement.
