Hurray! I didn’t get out this morning (ended up going into work early instead of braving the cold - Susan’s more courageous than I am. Once I got home, however, I laced up my shoes and hit the streets for a 2.5 mile loop around the neighborhood - no iPod, no Garmin, just me and the road. It was great to be back, though I could tell my running-fitness has suffered from the layoff.

I finished up the day with an hour of squash with Craig - he won, 4-2 (sigh). All in all, today was an excellent way to get back on the fitness track.

I’m starting to get excited - wanna know why?

Tomorrow’s the big day for running again. After almost three weeks off the roads, I’m finally going to head out again in the morning and see what everything feels like. I can’t wait, woohoo!

Well, I’m back! I’ve got a couple more summaries already done and a bunch more to do, but I’ll try to slip ‘em in with more regular running-type content now. Sorry for the honeymoon diversion

Speaking of running - I didn’t get any done over the past two weeks. Between the jet lag, the constant need to see something else, and the tiredness from all that sightseeing at the end of the day, I just never got around to lacing up my shoes and hitting the streets - not in Sorrento, in Rome, or in Siena. Imagine my surprise, then, when I got home yesterday and found I’d lost four pounds. I guess all the walking we did was an adequate substitute for the daily run, ‘cuz I know the loss wasn’t from a dietary cutback. Mmmm, italian food.

Anyways, it’s 0230 and I’m chipper as a bunny after falling asleep at 2000 last night. Darn time changes. Maybe I’ll make a run to the grocery store to replace our depleted pantry while Lacie sleeps….
