Getting Back Into the Swing of It

So I haven't done anything earth shattering, but I have gotten my butt back on the road.  I took the week off of work last week and started putting a few miles in every few days.  I started by knocking out a 5K on Saturday...felt pretty good.  The next day I went out thinking 3-4 miles...at 1.13 my right knee twinged and I turned around.  I would've typically run through it and finished the mileage but having not been training and having so many races on the horizon, I thought it best not to push.  I did run the 1.13 back, but very slowly and with a grimace.  My low back had been bothering me a bit and I knew my hips were out of line so I got in with the chiropractor on Monday, once he had me walking on level ground again (it wasn't an easy task...he hadn't seen my back that bad for a while), I put my orthotics back in my shoes, asked my daughter to bring me my knee straps when we met on Wednesday (she did), and broke out  my foam roller.  Tuesday I set out for an evening 3 miler and decided right away I was feeling good and wanted to go for 4.  By mile 2, I was feeling great and turned it into a 5 mile tempo run.  It was an awesome workout and it felt great to be back.  Saturday I went out for a planned 7 miler and knew by mile 1 this wasn't gonna happen.  I hadn't fueled properly and while my heart and lungs felt great and my legs weren't complaining, there was just no gas in the tank.  I turned it into an easy 5 miler and finished content to check the box on a run, but not feeling great about the effort.  Today is a new day and I've been fueling.  Tonight is 3 miles of killer hills.  I'm debating whether I'll log 3 or 4 easy miles Thursday, but I probably will...then I'll rest up for VA Beach RNR 1/2 on Sunday.  I'm not setting any records, but I'm getting back in the swing of it and trying to prep for my back to backs without doing any damage to myself with too much too quick.  I decided not to run the Hidden Treasure on 9/9...probably should use the time to rest and train for the 3 1/2s in the following two weeks.  Imagine that...I didn't register for a race...maybe I haven't gone completely crazy just yet after all.
