Revised GBA recovery to run non-plan plan... eh?

So, unless you've missed it, I'm running again.  It's nice.  To be honest, it's more than nice.  I'm still in the honeymoon phase with RUN, where we're both blissfully happy, and no one is sweating the small stuff... actually, because of the Hot Doc's rules, no one is really sweating much at all...

Anyway, I decided I better go take a look at my recovery plan, see where it stood, take a look at where the miles are going to fit in, etc and so forth.  My goal is to run 3 days a week for a few weeks, and add a 4th day when the milage gets too high to "fit it in" before 6:30am... and to do it all in a non-neurotic way without a real "training plan" to fret over....

(ha ha ~ have we met?  Yea, $2 that there's a plan created, posted and revised by Thursday evening)

... other goals include not spraining ankle, not making fool of self on gym dreadmill, not re-injuring ankle, not injuring new part, avoiding soft tissue damage, completing all PT exercises as prescribed, and building back to the point where a 6 mile run is "easy" no matter how hard I run it....

This means all my runs are sort of the same distance.  I don't really have a "long run" on my schedule.  It's weird.  Who only works out for an hour on a Saturday/Sunday?  Oh, wait, I mean, I don't really have a long run on my 'non-schedule'... because it's not really a schedule, it's really a plan... er, wait...

Anyway.  What's really going on here at Chez Moi?

A lot of swim/run, run/bike doubles to balance out the "not quite enough time with my RUN".

Oh, and a funny thing about April's "not my problem right now" schedule... well, when RUN returned to me early, suddenly, April took on a whole new look... but that's 2 weeks away, and I'm not rushing into anything.

~savor the run~

I hope you will be a perfect patient and run the plan... so you can be the perfect example to all of us... because eventually we will or have been in the same boat, and yeah, I tried to empty the water out, but my bucket had lots of holes in it. So far, your bucket... is doing a great job!

yeah, I'm a dork.
