coming out of hibernation

i've run all of 4 times in the month of december. which is about the number of times i got off my duff to run in november. and probably october. it's been a stellar quarter indeed.

but last night i officially mapped out a 6 week training program for a 10k on 2/10. and today i finally joined a gym. yup, yup, my friends, i'm comin' outta hibernation.

i almost laughed when i saw that i had two 14 minute miles scheduled, but it was a relief. with my "long run" at only 3 miles, the transition back to the world of running should be pretty smooth and i can build my base again no problem.

so 2 miles today in 28 minutes. it's amazing that at one point i could run 13 no problem, and i'm back at a point where i'm looking at the clock praying and wishing the miles could somehow tick off faster without my heart pounding out of my chest. it didn't feel THAT hard, but it didn't feel THAT fun either. but it will. soon.
