The End of the Resting

It has been a complete month off.  There has been a little running.  I've taken a couple of rides on the road bike.  And I have been lifting weights a lot more.  However, it is time to pick things up and start running again.

More than the physical rest, I think the mental break has been very beneficial.  I have not had the pressure to get out or to push the distance to meet goals.  There is not long race looming in my future that I need to prepare for.  In all, life is pretty good.

On the other hand, it is time to get moving.  I'm gaining weight and losing my conditioning.  I don't intend to jump into anything big for a while, but I need to move.  There are some timed night runs coming up.  I'll probably attempt these but at a much slower pace than would be normal for me.  Otherwise, I intend to strike a good balance between running and cycling for my cardio work.  I also intend to keep up the weight lifting.  I'm much more interested in improving my fitness and condition than in preparing to go 100 miles now.

Tomorrow morning the alarm goes off early as I try to beat the summer heat.
