Exercising Again!

After my Imodium post (potentially a bad taste blog entry, sorry!) I was under the weather for a further two weeks with a temperamental stomach which prevented me from eating much or doing much. (Waiting for the Ahhhhhs!)

Well, I'M BACK! I have been to the gym twice this week - once cardio, once weights - and I feel I'm getting back to the fitness level I was a few weeks ago!

Today, I was late leaving home and got caught up in the school run. If I had gone to the gym I wouldn't have got to work until 11:30ish - not good! So I decided to go for a run at lunchtime. Here are the statistics:
Duration: 31:49
Dist: 5.6km / 3.5 miles
Speed: 10.6kph / 6.6mph
Pace: 5:39 (Km) / 9:05 (Miles)

The route itself can be found here:

I felt really good, and met up with other runners at the end. I felt part of the team, comparing notes and routes we took. I have yet to run with them because they run much faster than I currently do - maybe one day I'll use them to up my pace occasionally!

I'll do the 4 mile home route again early next week, I think I can beat my current pace despite the gradients being more steep!
