Before today, it had been over a week since I last ran. In fact, before my lunch-break run today, my last run was the half-marathon. This thought pains me! To be somewhat fair, I took the day after off, and then I hiked ~8 miles on Tuesday and on Wednesday. I worked from 9am to midnight on Thursday. I have no excuses for Friday. My parents came to visit on Saturday, but that is a lame excuse. Sunday (my birthday!), I went for a hike and swam. On Monday I wanted to go for a run SO badly, but I was stuck at work until 8:30. The school gym closes at 8 and it's not safe to run outside alone at night where I live.
Anyway, the only time I could find to run today was at lunch, so I packed up my gear and the second it hit noon, I flew down the six flights of stairs to get to the gym. Then I realized I forgot my ID, which I need to get into the gym. Woops! Back up the stairs, then back down again. It was a good, solid run. I don't think I've felt that good on a run in quite some time. I felt powerful! Perhaps it was just my long absence. I ran 3 miles in 32:45 which is SUPER speedy for me. Anyway, it made the rest of my work day considerably better.
I'm signed up to run a trail 10k on July 17th. I don't know who I think I'm kidding - I've never run trails before. This could get interesting.

the trail run sounds great! I havent ran one either but have been looking for one to sign up for.
Sounds like you've had valid excuses for not running. You've been busy!
