It was tough...and I did it a day later than I should have...but I made it back on the waggon and went for a 4 mile run this morning, after not running at ALL (actually doing almost zero physical activity of any sort - save lifting a fork/wineglass) for 5 days.
I started off at a normal pace. Actually a wee bit faster than normal thanks, I think, to a generous helping of whole wheat linguini last night. But with a little under a mile to go, I got a HORRIBLE side split. Which is odd because I really haven't gotten one since I started training...at least not one that was bad enough that I had to stop. I tried to keep going at my normal pace and got almost done with the run and back to the house before I had to slow to a walk, but it was super painful. Thankfully nobody was around me when it got really bad, as I was making some pretty weird noises as I tried to push through it.
All in all though, today went better than I thought it would after the longest running break I've had since begining of October. Especially considering how anti-healthy and excessive I was with everything I consumed in LA.
Back on track and pounding the pavement again tomorrow :)
