What doesn't kill you will make you stronger...

So I'm happy to say that I'm going to get stronger!

I'm glad to report that on Sunday, I laced up the running shoes for the first time in 5 or 6 weeks, and went for a short run of 3.8 miles.

I won't lie to you (or myself! LOL) and say that it wasn't hard, because it was. I ran faster than I had planned - because I can't look down all the time at my Garmin to see my pace - but my heart rate was closer to 90% max rather than the 75% max it usually is.

The only thing that is sore is my troublesome left quad. I can't be surprised by that, especially since I didn't really stretch post-run ::blush::

The last time I ran 3 or more times a week was the last week of July. EEEEK. I've just got to get back in the habit.

A leisurely Sunday run of 8 to 10 miles seems like such a distant memory. But I'll get there again. :-)
