October 23
Ran with no bracing for the knees. A little pain after the run. 3.15 miles in 33 minutes 34 seconds. Still have my work cut out for me.

Recreated Monday's run
THis time did the exact same run but finished in faster time on Thursday the 14th. 3 miles in 29 minutes 16 seconds. Knee feels a little funny today (two days later) so I am going to just rest a little while and do some regular stretching.

Testing out the knee
It was such a beautiful day out, I couldn't help giving the legs are test run. So I ran 3 miles today and I am definitely rusty. # miles in 33 minutes, stopped twice for water. Five months after a marathon, getting back to the swing of things will not be easy. I have my work cut out for me.

I officially started a blog
I decided to start this blog to dedicate to all my running activities. For many years now I have had a dream of running the New York City marathon. I still have not achieved that goal yet but I have run in many races and conditioned myself to be able to handle the challenging 26.2 mile trek. I have run in the following official races as can be seen through the following link: http://www.athlinks.com/racer/60787659/David-Fanfan.aspx
I haven't run at all since my first attempt at a full marathon back in May 2010. This New Jersey marathon in Long Branch was probably the worst running conditions I thought possible. 90 degree weather as I was running through a knee pain from an IT inflamation. (Whatever the correct technical term is... it hurts) Since then I have been taking it slow and not running hoping the IT will heal. When I walk I still feel some abnormalities but I think it will be OK, but I will get checked out before I am competitive again.
A couple of weeks ago I reunited with some of my Team In Training teammates and they motivated me to get back out there. http://pages.teamintraining.org/nnj/nj09/dfanfan
So my mission to run gloriously through the city I was born, in the 26.2 mile ING marathon will continue very soon. I intend on keeping you all posted on my training. Feel free to share tips and comments as I continue with my running. Plain and simple, I love to run and I love to share my progress with the world.
