The road back to normal

I've almost got this cold licked.

Last night I was determined to workout. I was hoping to run my usual 35 minutes without feeling ill, so I decided to run really, really slooooooooooow.

Holding yourself back is difficult! It took me about 10 minutes to get used to this slower pace. I felt at points that I was just walking quickly, but with a bounce. Regardless, keeping this pace allowed me to finish the full run happily and feeling strong.

I am dissapointed that two weeks of spotty cardio activity would affect my progress this much, but it apparently has done so.

And I must admit that my motivation has suffered somewhat as well. Once you get used to laying on the couch it's hard to remember the benefits of doing otherwise.

I got a really good deal on a used copy of Game Face. The pictures in this book really inspire me. I think I should look at them tonight to get myself pumped about tomorrow's run.
