Oh man. So, I pretty much haven’t been running at ALL this month. Like, not once. Between work and travel and parties and Christmas and more work it’s just been too hectic to even think about running! I’ve just been knitting up a storm and counting on catching up with running after the holidays.
Well…
What a big mistake! I went on a little three miler yesterday and it felt like I’d never run before in my life! Three lousy miles! I wouldn’t even DO three miles last spring/summer/fall because I thought a distance that short didn’t even COUNT! Now I’m huffing and puffing and feeling like a first timer! I had planned on running the Kaiser half marathon in February, but I don’t even know if I can do it! Seriously- how could I lose all that fitness in just a month! I’d slowed way down in November too, but still did a 6 miler on Thanksgiving and it wasn’t a big deal. Mortifying.
So I guess I’ll just keep pushing myself every day to run and hope that I bounce back fairly quickly. I’ll keep updating my Tumblr to keep me honest and track my runs. Wish me luck…
