Welcome Back To My Mojo :-)

ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ

Well I think I can say now that my mojo has finally returned - yay!  I've been struggling for the past couple of weeks - nah months, trying to get myself back into a running state of mind.  This week has been good.  I forced myself to go back to the gym and take up my training plan again.  I actually enjoyed it and this may have what kick started my mojo.  Tuesday I managed to head out for a nice paced 3 miler and felt great when I reached home.  Wednesday it was back to the gym and Program 2 of my workout.  Again this was a satisfying one but was worried that I was going to be super stiff the next day.  When I woke up on Thursday, my hamstrings and butt muscles didnt feel too bad and I planed to head out for another run.  However by late afternoon, the dreaded stiffness set in and I wrestled with the notion of going out or putting it off till Friday.  I never gave in to rescheduling to Friday and pulled my trainers and kit on and headed out.  

Oh dear, the leg muscles were stiff and tired.  However after about 0.5k, they eased up and I didnt feel the stiffness during the run.  Another 3 miler under the belt but I can tell you I suffered all Thursday night and Friday lol.  Friday was a definate rest day for me :-)  Saturday will be gym workout and Sunday will be my first "long run " in weeks! Can't wait :-)
