on the road again

After a week running hiatus due to a nasty stomach bug, I returned to the running trail today.  I must admit that I was dreading it.  When I have missed even one day in the past, it has been hard to get back out there and settle in.  I think it only took me the first 5 minutes to feel "good".  Almost right away, I started feeling a stitch in my side.  (I haven't had this pain since I started running a couple of months ago!)  Weird.  I was worried I'd have to bail on my sweet running buddy early, but I hung in there.  We parted ways at the two mile mark, but I hung in there another .60 miles before I decided I better not push it anymore.  After all, I was running on fumes.  Still haven't been able to eat much...hoping today is the day!  I miss food!
