Return of the Red Face

After 2 months off following illness, I took the plunge and took my trainers for a bit of exercise. It was pretty hard finding the motivation to begin again, so I have started reading blogs again in the hope that I get rebitten by the running bug!

My aim was to start back at Week 1, but for some reason I cant get it onto my Blackberry, so I went out with Week 2, and I am very happy to report that I completed it, and I felt great! The trail was deserted, so noone witnessed my 'Yeeessssss!' at the end of my last run, but I feel like I'm ready to start my journey again!
