Welcome Back to Half Marathon Training Fit Mom

After a fairly relaxing Christmas vacation it’s finally back to the grind. I have to say that I really loved having hubby home for over a week. The kids loved all the extra play time with him too. It’s always a sad day when he has to go back to work. Even though all 4 of us were sick for a good part of his time off, we still made the most of it.

Now that we’re getting ourselves back into a routine, it’s time for me to get back into half marathon training. Admittedly, I’ve kinda fallen away from running since my October half, running just a handful of miles since then. I’ve still be swimming and doing spin so I figured that getting back into running (especially on the plan that I’m doing) would be a cinch.

Famous last words.

My first training run was a meager 3km done at a nice easy 7:19/km pace. No problem right? Wrong. I ran it a bit faster (7:10) and I swear I was ready for an ice bath after. Where did this half marathon legs go? I’m not sure but I do know that my treadmill got the better of me. It downright kicked my arse.

Welcome back to the half marathon training Fit Mom…welcome back indeed.

(I’ve also started in on my 6×6 plan too. See my post explaining it here and what my 6×6 is here)
