By the Numbers

19 | Days since my last workout

2 | Miles I ran this morning

9:04 | Average minutes per mile

So there ya have it. Pretty frustrating. But sometimes your body gets sick and you can’t do anything about it. Amazing how your body adapts to regular exercise. Equally amazing is how fast you can lose the gains you’ve made.

I was regularly running 5-8 miles, riding 20-30 miles, and swimming more than 0 a few weeks ago. I was doing at least something everyday. Now, today, that 2 mile run was hard.

What do you do? Just start over and build up again.

Yes, I’m frustrated. But I’m also excited. I actually ran! Now that’s progress.
