We had a little oasis of good weather in between stretches of rain and snow, so I rearranged my schedule to take advantage of it. I haven’t done any substantial exercise since December, if I am recalling correctly, and I was a little nervous to see how much endurance I had lost. Fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as I feared. I was able to run for about 2-3 minute intervals. It took me 2 months to get to that point when I first started the program last year at this time. So I’m relieved that my body seems to have retained some of its capacity for exercise even after a few months of inactivity.

It felt good, too. I will look forward to taking this up regularly again. I expect to work up to 5k by the end of the summer, if nothing goes wrong. I’d figure on doing it earlier, except that I’ll be missing 5 weeks for my big roadtrip, so the end of the summer is a reasonable goal.
