I just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone since I've been MIA for over two weeks now. I was way too sick to do anything for over a week. Then as soon as I felt a bit better I got stuck with really long hours at work, some family drama, the weather, an anniversary, and a long weekend away (and I forgot my sneakers and work out clothes at home...). Bah! Excuses, excuses... I know. But I was so, so happy to get back to the gym tonight (again, the weather isn't cooperating). Now I'm just looking forward to getting back to the point where I left off - at that point, I was feeling really good and improving my pace and distance. I'm trying to remind myself not to rush it, but still, I can't wait to get back into the swing of things!

Also, if you messaged me or responded to something I said in the last two weeks - I'm sorry I didn't respond! Dailymile was just too depressing when I didn't have anything to post, so I pretty much avoided it...
