After last week's bout of soreness and doubt, I'm happy to report that this week has been much better. After a couple of days off I did a little walking and a couple of short "sprints". I followed that the next day with an eight mile hike across country. Being in SE Kansas means there really wasn't any elevation change but it was all trail-less walking through pasture and woodlands. I was really tired afterwards and had some soreness but it was minimal. The next day I did a small amount of running and some walking. My day was spent with activity so I was always moving which was good. I took a day off and then today I went for a light workout with the dogs. I didn't get to go as long as I wanted due to the old boy. I'm thinking of going out later this evening with the young sprout and making the circuit again.
