Let's go back

Let me take you back to a time not too long ago.  Let's go to the end of March of this year to be exact.  It had been almost 4 whole months of 6 days a week working out for me and I felt great.  I was stronger than ever and I was running faster than ever.  In fact, I recorded my fastest ever 5 mile run (which to some, isn't very fast. But to me, it was super fast).  Here is the proof:

Oh boy did that feel good.  I felt like I could do ANYTHING!  I felt great about myself.  I loved the way my clothes were fitting.  I enjoyed exercising because it didn't make me feel like I was going to keel over.  And now, a measly 6 months later....

SLOW again.  WHY oh WHY did I let myself get out of shape again?  Almost 5 whole minutes slower.  Oh deary me.  This will never do!  On the plus side.... I did make it 5 miles today that is encouraging considering everything as of late.  Starting to lean towards this whole half marathon in the not too far future...
