Quite a lot has happened - I moved house last week and before that I was on holiday for a couple of weeks. I did manage token runs in Orlando and along Miami's South Beach but they were only 20 minutes because it was extremely hot and humid.
Anyway, I'm pleased to report that I dug my trainers out of the box where they were looking sad and unloved and went off up the trail today - which is now a convenient 5-minute walk from my front door. Mr. Endomondo was in a cooperative mood, although he thinks that the whole 3k was uphill, which it can't be as I turned and came back down the same path again, so I think he wasn't quite concentrating for that bit.
It was hard work - I have lost more fitness than I had hoped, but I managed 24 minutes before I started to wheeze so thought I'd better stop. I've mapped out a couple of runs from the new house, one of which involves a massive hill and the other a small hill so one way or another I am going to have to get to grips with hills now My last 5k was 6 weeks ago, so I guess it will take a little time to get back up to that distance.
It's so nice to be back, both running and on this forum. Life has been so hectic that I haven't even had time to keep up with reading the blogs, so if you have graduated, congratulations; if you are just starting, welcome - you can do it; and if you are struggling, ask for support on here because it is a wonderful place and you have lots of new running friends
Happy running to all

I've just moved house to and had an accident which put me out of action for 4 weeks or so. I ran twice recovering from the accident but it was too worrying for loved ones so I quietly gave in and recovered properly.
Life takes over sometimes doesn't it.
I ran yesterday with the families blessing and was amazed how much fitness I've lost like you say. A measly 2.25miles for me, came back looking like a beetroot and feeling sick with sore ankles and thighs
Welcome back I'm sure we'll be back in the groove soon
Sorry to hear about your accident - I hope you're recovering well. Like you say, it's important to take the time to recover properly. You'll be back up to speed soon, I'm sure
Yes, I can feel my thighs this morning I staggered back to the house looking like a horrible sweaty mess, beetroot in the face as you say, hoping my new neighbours wouldn't spot me! We will be back in the groove soon - we can do this!
Welcome back both Annie and deekay, its frustrating when you lose some of your fitness, I've been there and done the recovering a few times. Take it slow and steady and you will get there. Good luck, nice to have you back again.
Welcome Back. I'm sure you will soon be back where you left off - I'm not sure I've moved on too much while you've been away - 3 steps forward and 2 back.
Thanks! It's going to be a slow-ish process, I think. Regarding the 3 steps forward and 2 back, this is how I have found the whole c25k journey! I do very well - and then I get bronchitis. I pick it up again - and there's snow on the ground for a month. I get back out there - and something else comes along.
I hope you're enjoying your running and that you're currently in a forward step
