Today was more of a challenge than yesterday, first of all because I had to work today, so my run was done at the end of the day after chasing 2 little ones around for 10 hours. Yesterday was my day off and I had a lie in and then a leisurely trip to the gym. Needless to say I already knew it wouldn't be such a walk in the park.

My first run in eons didn't leave my body hurting too badly - I had a slight awareness of my quads, but other than that I was fine. Stepping on the treadmill was fine. The first 5 minutes were fine. It was somewhere around minute 6 when I felt my body slowing a little. So I switched on a pumping track, increased the speed and powered through.

All in all it was a good run. I had to push myself a little, which I like. I got home afterwards feeling that lovely burn both in my lungs and legs. I've missed running!

Tomorrow will be the true test, getting up early to fit a run in before my yoga class.

Stats:
Treadmill - 20 mins
- Distance - 2.66 km
