Day 20 after 4 days of rest

After missing any walking or aerobic activity whatsoever for 4 days (no excuses for 3 days, headache on 4th day) I thankfully made it to the gym today.
Ran at 4.0/4.2 m/h, walked at 3.3/3.4 m/h for 5 mins each, warm up, cool down.....finally completed 3.5 or 3.65 m to be exact in 1 hr.....oh, howwwwww will I complete a marathon????????
Am thinking of running a 5 K in December, have to find one nearby.

I think a 5K would be a GREAT idea! Just be warned...a lot of people go out really, really, REALLY fast and treat it like a sprint. I think they are insane. Use it to gauge your progress. 5Ks can be so much fun if you don't take them too seriously. The commaraderie is a great feeling...can't wait to hear about it!
