Back in the game

it's been a fair while since i had my trainers on (er, the first week of november) and the guilt over not exercising has been mounting (as have the scales been moveing inexorably upwards). but this morning there was nothing pressing that needed attention to use as an excuse and it was positively warm (ok, chill-off) in the park, and perfectly still, so good conditions for me to run. and tho i thought i'd only get about 1/3 of the way round my fave little circuit (which is only 2.2km in total, it's the very beginners route!) i actually got the whole way round and wasn't feeling like i was about to die.

it wasn't the 5.84km in 46.20min that i did the last time i was out (3/11/11), but then again it wasn't the 2.2km in 25min from 6/3/11 (the first run i have nike+ data for) either - that time i had to walk a large part of it and was sweating like a polar bear lost in a tropical jungle. progress :-)

(and i'm so grateful that i haven't lost every single scrap of fitness as i've entered a 5km - it's not til may, but still, i want to know i can get round without stopping!)
