Good run on a cold day with Back and Biceps

Yes, I know I took the last 2 days off. I felt really good today after a great nights rest. The past two nights I have not slept well and it was hard on me with my energy levels and so on. I am glad that I listened to my body and rested. 

Today was another cold day here, so  I took advantage of it and had a great run outside. It was my longest run since my injury back in August, 45 mins today. It felt good to be running again and I think the slower pace is working well to insure that I get back my endurance without re-injury!
