Today I ran  I have promised myself to run at least three times a week up until Xmas and then I hope to be in a better position to judge what events I might be capable of next year. I have let things slide farther than I ever believed possible  but tonight, for the first time in a long time, I wanted to run and I believed in myself enough to do it ... and it made me realise that I have actually rather missed it. Boy am I slow these days though! Onwards and upwards |

Compared to how I used to be, I am shockingly slow! But for the moment, I don't care. I'm leaving the Garmin at home and not stressing about it. Right now, I just need to get myself out there in any way, shape or form. Speed can come back to me later |

@wesome! No gizmos and gadgets, no time, no aspiration, just you, your feet, and your training brain becoming reacquainted!  |

Good for you Pam, it sounds like you're ready to get back to it! Look forward to hearing about your progress.
I know how you feel on the slow front, I am at that point myself, but we got there once before so we can do it again!

Awesome! What other training will you be doing? Rhon, I will be doing all the training! Back in the gym, back on the bike, back in the pool, back on the living room floor doing bodyweight stuff I have always been crap at moderation. This is a double edged sword I ran to the gym yesterday. Not far but I was going there anyway so why not? And I ran again at lunch time today. It was hard and horrible but I'm glad I did it anyway. The horridness was largely my own fault since I hadn't eaten anything at all and was therefore, can you believe it, lacking in energy. |

I was thinking about you tonight on my run, I was only talking to my SIL about my base training plans prior the HM schedule and how I was going to build up to an 8 mile mid week run and make it a regular appearance each week from then on, so what did I do, I went out and ran 8 miles tonight, it was supposed to be 5, I hit the f**k it button and thought what the hell! The devil in me came out after reading this today. ;D |

Great news Pammo. But don't overdo it and put yourself backwards... Just relentless forward progress. It's not a race ( yet )
