I ran tonight after taking five days off to rest. It felt pretty good. I only did three miles because I ran after my evening class and it started getting dark. Better than nothing, right?
I have to study for my test Wednesday. Later, gators.
Today's stats:
Run:
Distance: three miles
Time: 31:50
Pace: 10:36 minute/mile
I used to be an athlete. In high school, I was on the track team. In college, I was a varsity rower. But then life happened. I graduated from college in 1998, got my first real job and started slacking in the exercise department. Add two kids and a few extra pounds and I was unhappy. In November 2006 I started running again as a way to shed some weight and get some much-needed "me time". And now I am back in school to pursue a career in nursing. Here's my journey.

Awesome, I'm glad you are feeling better! And 3 miles is great to be able to squeeze into your tight schedule.
BTN is kind of like squeaking by... I prefer to think of it as getting it done, despite all the other BS! Nice job!!
Way to go chica!! Welcome back!! ;D ;D
Great job!!! It took me several runs to get 'back' from being sick. Looks like the rest was the right idea!!
You keep getting speedier and speedier! Way to go!
FINALLY!!! Your back :D
Great job on the 5km!
