For a week or 2 now I have been wanting to see where I am fitness wise.  So I tried to run a hard 5k.   Well, I found out I cannot do a hard 5k right now.  Stopped after 2.  I am not disappointed about today, but more disappointed on how much fitness I allowed myself to lose over the last few months/

Felt so bad on the 4th mile and did not know why..  I was going into the wind, but felt worse than I thought I should.  Then I realized I had upped the pace..with the wind.  Slowed to recover some on the 5th mile.  Got back to good pace again on the final mile.

Man, I am so out of shape compared to 3 - 4 months ago.

Short on time after waking up.  I had to pick up the kids.  Ran 4 faster than I usually do.  But it was not easy.

I had to work an extra Midnight shift last night because I owed another officer for a day he worked for me awhile back.  I tried to get very little sleep today to help me revert back to a normal daytime routine.  I would say about 80% of the time on these days I skip my run.  But I figured something short was better than nothing.  So when my wife came home from work I left right away so I could be back before she had dinner cooked.

It felt good to run this pace.  I had to push the whole run.  And I actually went sub 7:00 on the last mile.  I really hope in a few months I can look back and say, "I can't believe I thought this was hard."

17 days since any kind of exercise.  Weight stayed the same..luckily.  I hope to get into a more consistent routine.  But I have said this before.
