My son's school does a 5K and Fun Run as a fundraiser each year, and I tried to talk my 9 year old into doing the 2 mile or 1 mile, but he wanted to tackle the 5K again. He totally killed it. sub 30 minute 5K on a cross country course with a few rolling hills. I didn't see him after about a mile. I was sucking wind, had to walk-run-walk-run the whole way, and finished about 7 minutes behind him. He was the first kid from his school to finish. I told him afterwards that I was proud of him and that it was official---he was faster than me now.
Yesterday was a gut check and a reminder to me that I need to get out there again and run, even if it means I'll be starting over. Hopefully that means I'll be getting back in shape and blogging again soon.

It's amazing how fast we lose fitness. Best way to get it back is get out there and start running again. Good luck!
Welcome back on both accounts. We all need a guy check every now and then.
Welcome back for the moment at least. Do you think you'll be running the Valley Center BYOK 5k again this year? I might run it.
Welcome back! It's okay to start over again...even healthy to hit the ol reset button. Congrats to Oz Runner Jr for nailing the 5K!
Nice blog. Keep running. If possible start some bodyweight exercises too. They are highly addictive. Best of luck.
Sometimes all of us need to have breaks between our trainings. I've been reading a blog (militarygradenutritionals.com/blog/) where I have found a perfect advice for such occasions. They wrote about the dietary supplement Multipurpose High-Potency Super Nutritional Complex. It claimed to keep your body toned even if you are not training for a while. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised when my muscles almost did not sore after the post-break training. Moreover, I was able to run as much as I used to before the break.
