I Have Returned!

Fear not everyone - for I have returned! I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted anything, and it was probably thought that after the race I returned to my old ways of not doing anything and eating junk food.

Well, if you thought that....You were right....For two weeks after the race I started falling back into my old habits, and when I once again started getting heartburn, I knew I couldn't do that. So I started back up jogging on this past Monday...I'm not pushing too hard these first couple weeks back since it's been a couple of weeks. Monday I just walked 3/4 of a mile, jogged a mile, and then did my warm down and went home. It's cold now, so I don't want to injure myself. I haven't lost as much of my endurance and what not than I thought I would have. I did fairly well on Monday having not ran for two weeks.

Today it's both cold AND raining, so I'm not sure how well I'll do today. As part of my race day packet, I got a free 30 day trial membership to Gold's Gym...It expires today, so I may take that in so that at least for a month I'll have somewhere to run indoors. We'll see though.

Also; I've got a new race to train for. It's pretty far away as it's not until August. It's called the Mid-Summer's Night Run, and is again a 5k run. I'll have to research later this weekend to see if I can find a website and graphics for it. This time around, my goal is actually a time goal. I'd like to knock about 6 minutes off my overall time to get 30 minutes or under. I have quite a while to train for it, so by the time August gets here, that shouldn't be a problem.

But there you have it - I have returned!
