After four consecutive days of running I took two days off. This morning I ran another five miles at by far the fastest pace since I started back up again—7:32. This was a full ten seconds per mile faster than my last two five milers, and I must say was a confidence builder. I know it’s ridiculous to think I could just start where I left off after having not run or worked out at all for three weeks, but for some strange reason I did. There was even a dumb part of me that wondered if the deterioration in my fitness was COVID-19 related. Thus, it feels really good to run two miles longer than I did six days ago at an eight seconds per mile faster pace.
