Get back (to where you once blog on)

Here we are again, following a two week break on holiday with the family I feel less fit than when I left, slightly wider round the middle, in need of another fortnight away in a health spa, but all the more better for it! Running, writing, app development have all taken a back seat in favour of sun, good food, and multiple trips to the bar. 

But it’s now time to get back to where we were before we went away… so what was that then? Dusting off the notes from last time, it looks that I was committing myself to smashing a ten year old personal best time of my local Parkrun. No harm in that then, best get back to it. 

I’ve decided on a couple of goals to get me going: with my target time at 21:40 (really?!), I’d like to run a Parkrun in a few weeks to set a benchmark. First up though will be an initial 5km run this week with the aim of consistent splits of 5:20/km, ie 26:40 in total. Not sure if I can hit that now so may take a few runs to get there – must start somewhere though.

Right now I feel a stiff and generally not in great shape but will write on that first run back later in the week.

It’s great to get away but also good to come back and pick up on life. In my case this is back to running, back to writing, and especially getting all the updates from across all the other sites I follow here, looking forward to reconnecting.
