First pain-free run

...and I felt like cr*p!

I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise to me that I'm not the runner I once was but after all these enjoyable (if painful) runs recently, I really didn't expect my LSD today to be so tough.

There was just no "zip" in my legs and I plodded along on an out & back run to the harbour. In fact, it was so dispiriting that I altered my return route to cut out nearly 2 miles making it about 9 miles overall. I suppose trying a 11 mile run after such a long lay-off was perhaps a little overambitious but I really thought that I'd be able to trot along fairly easily.

Anyhow, I've got a run planned for tomorrow with Muriel and I'll be running in my VFFs again so hopefully that'll be a bit more fun
