Day 55 - Back at it!

I'm back, and totally excited to be running again. I first want to thank all my followers for their kind remarks and support during my hiatus! I was very touched to learn of the number of people following my blog. Even though it doesn't show on my blog that there are many following, I received many email, calls and pokes inquiring about my return to the training. I have to say it's been a long 5 weeks since I last ran. I endured a few different experiences such as the flu, migraines, fatigue and even the hives. I really have no idea why my body broke down so much and decided that it wouldn't let me perform on the training track. But now after a few weeks off, I feel rested, energized and excited to push forward to catch up to meet my goal of running a marathon with my dad in October. Once again, thank you so much to the many people in my life who are supporting me in this endeavor and please know I will not let you down.
Today's Stats: Ran 6 miles, 9.65 km, in 1:02 hrs, avg pace 6:31/km, avg speed 9.2 km/h burned 843 cal

I love all of you fans out there and love getting messages from you. I look forward to reconnecting with you on a daily basis to share my trials and tribulations of my teaching myself how to run a marathon.

  1. Hi Laura, nice to see you are back! Good thing as I was wondering if I should keep up these long miles? All you have to do is follow your regime and you will be prepared for the Marathon.
    However, you should really try to do a couple 10 km.s and at least one half-marathon to get the feel for races and the longer running race. Stay well. Will be watching your progress!
    Cheers, Dad
