Day 3 - Lost fitness

So between laziness and illness I haven't really run in almost two months.  As a result I was expecting to find that my general conditioning had dropped off.  Sadly tonight's trip to the gym proved that.  Last summer a trip to the gym meant an hour on the treadmill without much problem.  Even as late as the fall I still joked that I only really felt warmed up after 6 miles of running.  With two months off however that conditioning is gone.  I made it a little over a half-hour and 2 and a half miles before slacking off and deciding to kill the run.  I could have pushed myself longer, but I had no interest in it (also the episode of Castle on TNT was one I didn't like as much, so had less reason to stay and watch).  Definitely have to get the distance and speed back up, but it's looking like there isn't much chance of a half-marathon in March.  May have to shoot for April and see what happens.


Food today:  three pancakes with syrup for breakfast (500 calories), lunch was a piece of french-bread style pizza (500 calories probably), snacks were a handful of M&Ms (100 calories), dinner was a pork loin, rice and baked beans (1000 calories).  Exercise was 35 minutes on the treadmill (524 calories).
