Getting back into my running has been slow. Coming off of two weeks with the flu and bronchitis has not been much fun. Amazing how much your energy is wiped out and how long it takes your body to recover. I am still coughing a bit but not enough to greatly impact my runs, the only impact has been my body still in recovery mode.
But I still laced up and went out! I took it easy the first day, pretty much just walked with a very slow jog every now and then. The next day was cold and rainy but I was able to jog a bit more with less walk breaks. I was happy to get home...not a fan of being cold and wet. Sunday was my best day of running. Went out at 9am (usually I go around 7:30 at night), beautiful partly cloudy day. Fairly decent in terms of temperature. My run was nice, still had to take a couple walk breaks as my body still has that loss of energy feel from being sick but my runs were longer and faster. I am not fast by any means but I went faster than the previous days.
I looked over different training plans and that I found on the web but since I am so new to running and all the jargon I just don't get it. So I think I will hire a coach. I came across a blog (http://seemomrunfar.blogspot.com/) and read all about Erin and her wonderful worldly family (amazing) and after her e-mail I am pretty sure she will be my coach. I am quite excited to start. I need someone who knows running to help me with my training. Can't wait to learn and be educated and to learn to be a runner!
