I found last fall that picking numbers to hit was not the best thing for me to do...but it might work great for you!

I don't always have a method to my goals. Sometimes I just say "I want to do x" and just venture forward towards that goal. But coming back from injury it does make a bit more sense to have some type of logic of point a to point b to keep yourself healthy.<br /><br />I found a 5k on 4/29 in lincoln park that is only $25, it's called the spring fling. Races here are so dang expensive, this is the cheapest one I've seen in some time.Britt @ Chicago Runner Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628838959053342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-58973983927079795402012-04-17T22:00:58.931-05:002012-04-17T22:00:58.931-05:00When I came back from my 5 months off running, I j...When I came back from my 5 months off running, I just ran whatever felt right (and I had no pain, so I just ran a few days per week). And then I gradually added in some speed. <br /><br />And then I started with a 4K, and 8K and then a 10K, all within two months. Then I plugged the 10K time into the McMillan calculator and that's how I got an idea of what I wanted to do for my fall marathon.<br /><br />Best of luck getting back up to speed, you'll be there in no time! :)Neon Blonde Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16782863353830958219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-6627971178181846832012-04-17T19:19:20.846-05:002012-04-17T19:19:20.846-05:00Aw, I'm so sorry you've been struggling so...Aw, I'm so sorry you've been struggling so much. ::hugs::<br /><br />Good luck finding an awesome coach!The Green Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319714826599995511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-26093913172555666082012-04-17T14:48:16.804-05:002012-04-17T14:48:16.804-05:00Coming back from injury is tough!
