A Slow Start

Alright, I am not in Riga yet, but I will be soon. So, I registered myself for the half marathon distance of the Riga marathon event (http://www.nordearigasmaratons.lv/en/). After some serious procrastination, I finally started running again today. I thought that after almost 4 months of not running, I would be able to crunch out at least 4K. But, just as regular running pays off in terms of endurance, regular not-running also does inversely. After about 2.6K my legs blew up. So the run was a slow start (http://ow.ly/12FNJ).

Anyway, doesn't matter, just a bit of a longer way to go to get into half marathon distance shape. At least I'm running again, and that feels good.
