Back into the Swing of Things

Yesterday I ran my first half marathon of the new year. My only goal for the run was not to injure myself. I had not run since February 2nd due to the flu, a two week trip to Costa Rica, and a very busy week last week. I would not recommend this training plan to others but the run was not as painful as I thought it would be. Today, however, is a different story. This half was the slowest half marathon I have ever run. It was also the first race I ran with my new name: Jennifer Rutz. I blame my time on that.
