Yeah yeah yeah
I had a nice Friday on sofa. I had cold and as usual I "lost" my lungs. So I did nothing but rest. Yesterday I gave xc skiing a chance but I felt too sick to do any decent workout. I skied only half a mile and returned to car.
Today I, however, went running and had a nice grispy morning jog. Oh, running felt so heavy and good at same time. I really had work a lot to back home even if I ran only 8 miles (@ pedestrian pace, 7.50s). Still, it was my longest run since last May.
Currently, legs and the rest of the body are not at all adjusted for running. It means a long, but enjoyable road ahead.

Away II
Despite the highly innovative topic set for this post, I had another nice morning in Maastricht. Yesterday I lost the map so today I selected a less extreme adventure and strolled out and back follow the river Maas. Achilles was talking the same language as yesterday but today left knee also had something to say.
Still, this day strated with a positive tone.

Away
I had a nice morning jaunt (3 miles @ 7.30s, got lost only three times) around tiny city of Maastricht, NED. Achilles was today way better than I could expect based on the self-caused pain due to yesterday's adventure to get here (lots of walking and sitting in various forms of transportation). This day will be spent by sitting and listening to various presentations (on interesting topics of course), but I'll meet the empty streets again tomorrow morning.
And yes, this does not suck.

First run
Today: 3 miles @ 8.00 pace.
At first the achilles was a little too stiff, but I decided to give a try and run (the whole) 3 miles. After 1k striding started to feel easier, but left leg felt still relatively stiff. At the traffic lights around 1.5 miles I had a exclusive chance to do some stretching which - of course - helped. Then I conquered some mud, cold water, more mud and many many cyclists with no lights. And I was the only one smiling in the cold dark evening. To make it clear - it didn't suck.
It's a long long way to travel (and wishes that the old glute/hamstring pain is gone) before I'm back. But I think that there's a chance. Nice.
