After running once in 4 days due to illness, I returned on Monday with an easy 4 miler in the evening. After two more easy days, I felt good enough to try a workout tonight. Judging by how I've felt this week and in my workout, I don't think my sickness took much out of me--it was just a matter of getting back in the swing of things.
At risk of having a sub-par workout and becoming discouraged, I decided to start things off tonight with a completely untimed leg prep workout to get my legs back under me. I did 4 x 200 (1oo jog), 6 x 300 (200 jog), 2 x 400 (200 jog), 2 x 150 (250 jog), 4 x 200 (100 jog). I felt great--strong, powerful, and fit. The 300's especially felt very fast, but at the same time smooth and controlled. I'm pretty happy with where I'm at after today considering I was leaning over a toilet vomiting a few days ago.
My legs feel great after tonight--I'm definitely ready to resume normal training.
