Resume Training

I finally got off my couch and resumed training last night! I've been trying to talk myself into it for a week now, and I wish I had started sooner.

Previously I was on week 3 and feeling great. The 3 minute jogging segments weren't too bad until the end of each workout and I felt like I was making real progress.

I attempted to resume where I left off, and was disappointed to feel winded right away. I had to scale back to the week 2 training regimen to make it, and even then I felt soreness in my legs during the last few intervals. This could be due in part to the fact that I did stairs in the middle, but I definitely felt a degradation in my general fitness level. I may not have noticed the progress I was making, but I certainly notice its absence now.

I am hoping to get back on week 3 within a week's time, but I don't know if I will make that. Previously I was running more than 3 times per week, and that might have accelerated my progress, even though it did result in my injury as well.
