So, I had been traveling two weeks and just got back the other day. I was inspired by a girl I’d met while traveling, who’d joined a triathlon club and really loved it—she’d been feeling great ever since she started. So I figured, it’s time I committed myself to running the 10k this June, instead of just the 5k I did last year, or putting the 10k off again and never doing anything new!

My first run after 3 weeks off was pretty measly—just about 12 minutes one morning. But I remembered the quickest way to get in shape is with intervals, so I back-counted the weeks until the 10k and decided I could start with the plan for Week 7 on my old standby running plan:

Since I’m still a bit jet-lagged, I started with Session 3 of Week 7 today. I think I covered nearly 5k, not bad for hardly running at all this year.
