Here's hoping I can stick to that without getting impatient or egotistical. Ha! I like your idea of focusing on what I loved most about running. That was definitely exploring new areas of San Diego!!

I can run 5 miles on treadmill with no soreness now. But after only 3.5 on the road, ouch!! ~KristenTwo Little Runnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358955748988516036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113560794810257802.post-49728134910116391842013-10-17T17:17:06.767-07:002013-10-17T17:17:06.767-07:00Well, then CALL PENNY.

I have heard this over and over about trails vs. treadmills vs. road, but I seriously never notice a difference on my legs. It could be because I run super slow or because I know I am a klutz and the road is the best option for not tripping and dying. I wish I knew how to feel it! Anyway, glad to hear you are on your way back!Amy Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377968154311447911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6113560794810257802.post-8776267132756410722013-10-17T07:51:14.979-07:002013-10-17T07:51:14.979-07:00Holly, Kristen is not allowed to have any other ru...Holly, Kristen is not allowed to have any other running friends but me.

Whatever you lo...Slow and steady, and keep it fun. Whatever you loved most about running pre-injury, try to work that back in. If it was running every day, then run shorter runs but more often. If it was long runs, then tack your mileage onto one run to start building a mini long run. If it was the social aspect, then grab a running friend, who will probably be so happy that you're back that he/she will be happy to run any pace you like. Or even on the treadmill next to you!<br /><br />Oh - and maybe try a flat, easy path or trail for your return to outdoors. It's something of a in-between the treadmill and road. Might make those shins a little happier. Just a thought.<br /><br />Good luck, and enjoy/love every mile!<br /><br />From, A random stranger who started reading/commenting at just about the time of your injury.....Holly @ Run With Hollyhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
