FORTY MINUTES. Even my KNEES hurt. *glee!*
My tendon is tightening up already. But this run is notable for two reasons. One, it's the first time I've hit 40min since the injury. It was done in twilight, on grass and roads, and a bit on concrete. Two, I felt like I could've done more. I didn't, because even at my slow shuffle of "please don't re-injure, please don't re-injure", 40min is a respectable run. But I felt like I could have. My tendon was tightening a bit by the end, but it wasn't bad. Slightly uncomfortable, is all.
So, this makes me think that I could do 5Ks again, as long as they're relatively flat and not on sidewalks. Which means that if I train for a half-mile swim and a 12mi bike (back to spinning class!), I could do a triathlon this spring/summer for real.
