I'm slowly starting to get into the high mileage again, but I am in no rush to speed things up. Right now, I definitely am feeling the legs are not strong yet for high mileage and high intensity workouts. I don't have another race for about two months, so for now I am doing low key workouts to get me back into the weekly routine. This week, I did a decent workout Tuesday, which showed great progress from two weeks ago. However, by Thursday I had some slight pain on my right knee which was preventing me from having full range of motion. I opted to take the rest of the week easy and just get in some good mileage. The knee inflammation has gone and I feel good again, but legs are really tired still. I will remain patient until they're ready for the heavy duty work.
