I was bad and took 2 weeks off of running.
Oops.
Now I'm paying for it. I went to the gym last night and ran 3.11 miles, and my legs are mad at me today. It's good though, because that means I worked my legs well. Or so I tell myself.
I have a 5k and a 10k in September and October respectively, so I've gotta get back to running consistently. The farthest I've run since Cherry Blossom is 5 miles, and recently I've been stopping at about 3-3.5 miles, so I need to up my milage over the next 2 months for the 6.2 miles on Oct 27. I think there's enough time to be able to run 6 miles consistently, and as it gets cooler it will be even easier. For now I'm happy that even with 2 weeks off, it wasn't too terribly bad running last night. Maybe that means my body is becoming a runner's body. Who knows. What I do know is that it's back to the gym tomorrow. Consistency is key, and now that I've had my 2 week summer break, it's time to get back to serious running.
Wish me luck.

I want to do a 5k again!! I've been dabbling on and off in the running arena since I ruined my knee three years ago, but I think I'm ready for it again. Good luck to you! :) You're inspiring me to get back on the saddle.
You can do it!!! And pick a fun run, like a Color Run or the Electric Run! Something fun and that isn't timed, that way there is no stress :)
