starting over

It feels like I am starting over with the whole running thing. January was a fantastic month with high, quality miles and a PR at the Carlsbad Half Marathon. Then came along February. I had a last minute 4 day trip back home the first weekend, surgery mid-month and no running the second half of the month. I'm just now starting back after giving my body some time to heal. Probably way more time than was necessary, but I didn't want to push things. My body needed the rest. However, now I need to get back to running and, as always when I take a break, I feel like I'm starting over. It was almost 3 weeks between my surgery and yesterday's first run back. It was hard and this evening's run was also hard. I'm looking forward to 5 miles being quick and easy again.
