Getting back there :)

OK, so getting back to anything approximating fitness hasn't been easy. At all. Between moving, ice, moving country, cold cramps in my legs and a nasty head cold, it's been a good ten odd weeks since I've done any real training.

This week has seen my running get back to my old standard. Now, it was shockingly bad then, but at least it's back to where it was and I'm not panting after 2 km. In fact, I think I've gotten a little faster :) The main thing now is to get the endurance in there. Ideally, it'll be adding one kilometer to each run a few times a week, and that should see me build up gradually.

Still waiting for that fixie to arrive, though. Once that happens we'll really be ready to roll :)

*edit, checked the weight there, which is coming in at around 65 kg :( So, 5 kg to lose first, then we can really roll. Shouldn't take too long once I get the road bike. The (hopefully) impending fixie will also go a long way into getting me some much needed exercise. The pink, women's geometry bike with a basket and non-adjustable seat-post one that I have now isn't doing my knees any favours...
