Back home again.

Well, so much for my running in Italy. I was able to get in a short run in three cities and it was great. Today it was back to my regular routes. After 22 hours of travel yesterday it was a much needed run but I will be honest...it would have been really easy to skip since I was not into my regular routine. BUT I promised myself at the beginning of this journey NOT to make excuses. So I got my butt in gear and went out sooner than later today.

My Map My Run app goofed up again so I was not able to post time and distance. I went about 3 miles today. I was about 1/2 mile into my run today when the app said I had gone 1 mile in 6 minutes or something ridiculous. I knew where my first mile would end so I reset the app there. Not even 4 minutes into mile 2 it indicated that I had gone another mile...I don't think I had even gotten to 1/4 mile. Frustrating!!! Oh, well maybe it wasn't meant to be for me to keep track today. I just decided to run and not worry about time or distance.

I was into mile 2 and I needed to take about a 30 yard walk. After all the walking I did on vacation my legs and knees were hurting...not sure why. I stopped and talked to Mike and Dave so I had another quick break, but then ran the last mile home.

It was a beautiful day out and I hear that later this week I may not have this kind of weather so I am glad I took advantage of it today.

I need to look up and find a couple of organized runs so I can stay on track. I think there is a 15K here in town later this month...should I take the plunge?
