So have been gradually getting back to running after laying off a couple of months with nasty ankle fracture. Posted a while ago asking how long it would take to recover some of my base (built up over many years of incredibly slow running). Many of you were optimistic that it would come back pretty quickly - and you were right.
Did a nice 13 miler yesterday in the windy rain - underdressed, so hands froze - but IT FELT ABSOLUTELY GREAT TO DO A LONG-ISH RUN AGAIN!!!!! Ran from my house down a minimally hilly course to the LI Sound - ran along the beach a bit - and back up the hills.
By the way, an indication of how long it's been was my forgetting to use Body Glide - and paying the price later! Thanks to all for your encouragement.
