Was really excited to graduate just before my 2 week holiday to America, but haven't run since.... Tried the running machines but could not get the hang of them as never used one before. Did swim a little and walked for miles but missed my runs.... so what do I do now?
My thought is drop back a few weeks with Laura and go from there? Any ideas?
Must say I had so much more energy than pre running days 
Welcome back - hope you had a good holiday? Don't panic about the running - why not just go out there and run and see how you feel? I don't think you'll have lost too much, but I would suggest that you just go and run for fun!
Thanks ... will go out tomorrow ..just to get going
I agree with Anniemurph, I shouldn't imagine you've lost too much fitness. You've been keeping active in any case.
Perhaps, if you need Laura's support, you could try Week 6 Run 2 (the 10 minute interval one) to see how it feels, then quickly get back to running 30 min. Don't forget to stretch afterwards.
We had a 20+ day of no running because of holiday, illness etc. We were able to start off where we left off but just at a slower pace. I hope you had fun on your holiday! We live in the US and our weather has been crazy. Hopefully you had nice weather as well. Gayle
I went with such resolute resolve that I would run so was may first major hic up so felt rather sad that I didn't run but with kids it was not possible just to go out in an unknown area.. so I have to just not beat myself up about it and go out and do it
We were in Virginia and Washington DC so started with snow and ended with a little warmth, but yes sounds like your weather is as crazy as ours 
I agree with all the above, I recently went on holiday for 2 weeks where I did no running and not much walking either even though I had just graduated for the second time a day before. Still, when I got back I tried a wk9 run and was pleasently suprised to get thought it.I no pressure on myself , was very slow and kept reassuring myself that I could always stop if I wanted to, but every time lauren mentioned the time, I would think this is not so bad lets keep going for another 5 mins, and soon enough I had finished.
I'm sure u can do it! Have a go (and if not then u can always try again at another week's run)
Just realised my auto spell thing changed Laura's name to lauren- whoops!
Welcome home fellow grad! Hope you had a good holiday?
Have you managed to get out yet? How did it go?
I've been doing the 5k+ podcasts and now I've started on Zombies Run. It's not to everyone's taste but I like the distraction, keeps the gremlins in my head occupied
Fantastic holiday thanks ... just lots of bad food
Hope to run tonight ... really good to see the Zombies (watched the Walking Dead on holiday!) are chasing you, I did look at that one before I had Laura, loved the idea of it
Think I will keep Gremlins at bay by thinking about how much better my trip was for being fitter, definitely noticed the difference.
Keep ahead of those Zombies.
Physio No.1 says run every day; physio No.2 says don't run at all :(
Does music make a difference. Week 2 run 2
