Ok, today I return to normal training. I have taken the last couple of weeks 'off' from most training and enjoyed the holidays. With heavy and hectic travel, training as much as normal was not a possibility anyway. Due to the many sweets and holiday food I consumed, coupled with my decrease in exercise, I have put on several pounds in the last few weeks. Some of it is recovery fluid from my first half marathon I ran on Saturday. I am still a little sore.
