Running Again

About a month without running, I decided it was time to get back into running. What better way to challenge myself and see where my fitness level is, than to run Tumamoc Hill. Tumamoc Hill is about 1.5 miles with an elevation gain of about 750 feet. I managed to complete the climb/run without stopping, in 17 minutes. That is the time I normally run it in. Had I had breakfast before the run, I would have thrown up like 5 times. My lungs are in bad shape, I need to practice my breathing techniques once again. I'm disappointed to think that 4 months ago I was running 50 miles at an altitude of 7,500 feet, and here I am now struggling at an altitude of about 3,000 feet and only 1.5 miles. The good news is my back is improving.
