The Cold Hard Slap of Reality.

I ran for the first time in months yesterday. I have really really missed it. I feel better about myself when I am out there running regularly. I didn't expect to be a speedster or anything but it felt like my shoes were made of lead! It felt good to get going again but at the same time, it made me sad to realize all of that hard training I had done and all of the speed I had built up over these last few years was out the window. And today my body feels like I ran a marathon, not a few miles. My left hammy has a knot the size of a softball. Ugh.
