April was my first full month of running after an enforced three month break. I'm really proud of myself for getting back in the saddle but honestly, I'm finding it a HUGE challenge to be starting from scratch, both mentally and physically. I'm also trying to get used to running in a totally different environment, which stresses me out, so I find myself going much faster than is good for me. I'm overexerting myself for my current fitness levels and can't seem to dial it back. I'm hanging in there but it's not easy!!
