Finally a fantastic run

Today I had my first really good run since mid December when I got the stupid colds that lasted til the new year, when I got a nasty chest infection. I started training again two weeks ago and even though I took it really easy to begin with, I've really been struggling to enjoy it and to find the motivation. I've lost a lot of the form I built up in November and December and it's just been so demotivating to do shorter and easier runs but feel more tired than on the longer or harder runs I did before. But, today the sun was shining and I went out for my first long run since before Xmas. It was really lovely and I absolutely enjoyed it. I feel like I'm getting my fighting spirit and motivation back and I'm really going to give it all I have now. Ran about 1h 35min so I'm not up to where I need to be yet, but I'll get there. I'm playing it safe for the moment, building it up. The last thing I need now is injury.
