first day back

....and I ran 5.3 miles!!!! what!?!? I was SO excited when I got home and figured out that was the distance we ran tonight. Considering this is my first day back since having the stomach flu last Thursday (as mentioned in one of Jess' previous posts), I didn't have high hopes for myself. I didn't have time to map out a course before we set out for the run so we just went out & ran. I didn't even time it...just enjoyed being healthy & able to run again. I can say that I am happy to be back to running again. I guess the .3 miles over the 5 scheduled for today is the least I could do for missing the 8-miler on Saturday.
