I've a confession to make to start with, I have not run for over 3 weeks. Been to Gran Canaria for Christmas and New Year which was lovely. Hotel gym was pretty pathetic with only 2 jogging machines and although there was plenty of good running paths around and about the hotel it really was not wise to be out early in the mornings running on my own. Hubby over heard someone saying there had been a few groups of young people wondering around rather worse for wear through too much to drink so that rather put me off.
So now I have a long up hill struggle to get back to my previous stage of fitness etc. Ah well will see how it all goes, will just have to give myself a good stern talking to now and again.
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and good New Year and good luck to all those who have set themselves goals to reach in the coming months.

I bet you'll find you haven't lost any fitness! I am just back running after only 4 runs in December and although easing myself back in gently I can tell most of my fitness is still there. All the hard work last year will have paid off!
Happy to see you oldgirl! Sounds like you had a nice Christmas and vacation! Its always so difficult getting back on track but as Ali wrote, all of your hard work in the past will bounce you right back to where you were. Happy New Year to you as well! Gayle
Happy New year. Good to hear from you here again. Sounds like you had a lovely break. Shame it wasn't run friendly.
I was in Oz in November and was able to run early in the morning on a seaside path, including doing the Kawana Parkrun. Finding the cold, dark and wet puts me off running during the week, especially after work.
Welcome back, Oldgirl!! No worries about the sabbatical!! Gayle and I took an unintended 22 days off through most of December!! We were surprised to find that we hadn't lost as much as we anticiptated. Don't get me wrong...we definitely could feel the aches and pains, but we were able to trod through 30 minutes!! You will do fine!!
