First running workout in 8+ months

I went to the track today with the intention of doing my first running workout since the surgery.   I did, went ok.  Stayed on turf.  It was a start.  Milestone of sorts.

Felt good to put on the Hoka Rocket X2s and run pain free.  Wasn't much, but will slowly up my game, running once/week on turf for this month.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, drills, bands

60m stride 

Hoka rocket X2s on

2 x 100m on turf w/ 30 sec rest - 15.47, 15.51

8 min rest

2 x 100m on turf w/ 30 sec rest - 14.57, 15.72

The running felt great, a little sore after but not bad.  Even this short workout pushed my HR to the mid 170s by second rep.   Long way to go.  Last time I had surgery, I did a similar workout at just a week short of 6 mo.   Now it's about 6 mo + 2 weeks, so maybe 2 to 3 weeks behind last time.  Still remains to be seen how I tolerate running workouts.  

I made sure I was light for this workout.  141.5 lbs after workout.  

Next running workout will be Mon or Tue next week.  This week starts my full back to work schedule.
