A step back to move forward

I've been trying to avoid using the treadmill, and getting outside as much as possible, but there was no way I'd get a decent run in today without it. There was snow off and on all day, after a few inches last night that was never fully cleared out. So I went nowhere, but I did it for a while, so there's that.

I did four miles, at 7.5 mph, which felt OK, although I'm now fat and slow. There has been some deconditioning over the last couple of months. I'm not disappointed by that at all, it's what was supposed to happen. Now, over the next couple of months by getting back to regular workouts, I'll bounce back to where I was, and even a bit further. It's all part of the flux of fitness. I have over 4 months until any racing is done, 5 months to the first triathlon. Plenty of time to get myself back to tip-top.

Run: 4 miles @ 7.5 mph
