30min Easy
Ran around Kings Park for 30min on the sandy and grassy tracks. Felt quite crappy but I feel this may be a common entry over the next few weeks. Another steo in the right direction

It begins..5k under 17min
After some 8 weeks away from running several developments have transpired. My poor running form and cycles of sickness have been diagnosed as hypothyroidism. I also found by Vit B and D levels were very low.
I am not getting medication and slowly getting some strength back. Went for a half run this morning and it felt awful. Having been here before I know the next 6-8 weeks are going to be very painful and hard but I know that everyday I run will be one day closer to regaining some running form.
So where to from here...I have decided to go back to school and learn from the ground up. Goal to run 5k under 17min before I move onto anything longer. The goal is to return via 5k, 10k, 21k goals beofre running a cracking marathon. I have put no time limit on this but will not move on the next goal until the previous one is achieved.
This is going to be fun, let the running begin.
