Vacation's over. Back to work.

My 10 day hiatus from running is over. I got back out there today for an "easy 4". Only problem was, it didn't feel easy at all.

I guess I don't know what I expected going in; I haven't laced up the shoes since after the marathon. It was just another experience to add to the pile: in the span of 10 days to go from top of my physical form to feeling like I was starting completely over.

Wednesday: 4.1 miles in the afternoon at work. 9:16 minute/mile average pace with an average heart rate of 159bpm.
