Why is that, you ask? Last night I completed my long run for the week - about 3.5 miles. The interesting thing is that this "long" run is shorter than the shortest run in my last complete marathon training cycle.
I know, I know - I'm only on day three of my return to running, but making light of my situation makes it a bit easier, I think.
Also on the positive news front - my weight has dipped below 195, so that will hopefully make the running a bit easier. Now that I'm thinking about it, to this point my body has been holding up a little better than I thought it might. Aches and pains to be sure but that's it.
The next big challenge for me (with respect to my running and my weight) is the fact that I'm leaving for vacation on Friday. I'll be on a cruise ship, so I'll have access to a track and a gym - which I used every day on my last cruise - but it's definitely a challenge to get up and work out every morning while I'm on vacation. Then there's the unlimited access to food...
In other news, I've been getting caught up on all of my running magazines and websites lately, so I should hopefully have something on than my incessant whining on here pretty soon.
Today is likely to be a treadmill run.

The unlimited access to food is precisely why you will need to hit the gym every day on the cruise! If you don't make it to the gym, at least do your bicep curls (lifting your alcoholic beverage of choice to your mouth repeatedly). I know I plan on having some fine looking biceps next week when our cruise is over!
