Last night I laced up and headed out for my second run post-injury. Everything clicked immediately. I felt fantastic! I stuck to a comfortable pace right around 6:00/KM (I'm not even going to think about pushing the pace until I get my distances back up) and felt like I could keep going and going and... you get the idea.
I set out to run only slightly longer than Sunday's 4K, but finished off at 7.1 (4.4mi). I could easily have kept on going, but Mom was expecting me for dinner. (Pancakes, anyone?)
Based on how I felt yesterday, I'm hoping to get a 10K in the books before the end of this weekend.
And speaking of 10K, I registered for the Sporting Life 10K yesterday.
Canada's EASIEST and one of the fastest downhill 10k's, it runs right down the middle of Canada's most famous street—Yonge Street!
Whether you are a novice looking for the easiest course around to complete your first 10k or a seasoned veteran setting that new PB, this is the event for you! Sign up today and join 10,000+ fitness enthusiasts in the dash down Yonge Street.
I loved the energy and excitement of this event last year and I blew my own goal out of the water with a 49:10 finish. It's a famously fast course and I am definitely looking for another PR. Any of my fellow Torontonians going to be there?

All this time off for your shoulder doesn't seem to have set you back much at all.
Go get 'em!
Looks like you're doing great! I'm glad it's going well and things are looking up again.

Hooray for the great runs! And my stomach literally let out a loud growl when I saw the pancakes...guess it's time for a snack. ;)

Just like riding a bike, apparently. Glad to see your fitness hasn't left you.
Wow! Good for you. You deserve things to go smoothly.
This is great. I can't help feeling injuries are sent to reinforce our love for running!
The race looks like a big one. I'd love to run a downhill race.
I am a newbie to your blog. Saahhwweeet !!! Thanks for heading over to my blog and leaving a terrific comment. Much appreciated.
Glad you are back to running! Sounds freaking awesome!
Yeah that you are up and running, that really is great news! I may run NJ,or Mississauga. If I am home, I will come and cheer you guys on or volunteer! I am sure you will PR!
Glad to hear your shoulder injury hasn't set you back too much in your running!
Pancakes for dinner? Dang!! I want some LOL
Must've felt so good to register for that race! YEAY!!!
I just served up pancakes & bacon for dinner two hours ago :)
You are back! Back in the races, haha, sounds fun, and I hope you get a PR!
Great job. Feels good to be back in the saddle again.
Wooo! Awesome!
Those pancakes look great! Look at that syrup.
yep, we both beat the price hike! :) See you on Yonge St! Happy running
Quick reply to your comment. I haven't started stair running but I am definitly doing it as part of my runs. The only stairs I have around my routes is in a parking garage.
All the posts I read about the GWM say you better do stairs/hills etc because it will tear your calves to shreds, yikes!
So glad you are able to be back at it. Pancakes taste so good after a run!
*drool* I love pancakes! I am glad you are back in the game.
Woo hoo, just catching up on blog reading and see you're back. So you doing ATB? only four weeks!
I'm doing Sporting Life.. Love it, missed it last year for a marathon but not this year.
Good for you! Yes I'm doing Sporting Life as well but won't be nearly as fast as you...
omg pancakes have been the only thing i have been craving lately, i finally gave in yesterday :)
GREAT job on the runs!!!! YAY :)
