"Easy" 3km run

Went for an "easy" 3km run today. After three weeks off - thanks to holidays, being sick, and enjoying way too many snacks in Japan - I've definitely lost some fitness. Oh, and I gained an extra 3kg of "holiday goodness."

The first few runs and workouts after a break always feel tough, like you'll never get back to where you were. But it's just temporary. I love the grind. Step by step, you get better than the week before.

Next up: UTA50 - an ultramarathon in the Blue Mountains this May. Time to focus on leg strength and hill training. Bring it on!
