Today was my first day back running since the marathon on April 10th. I knew the break was going to be long one though. I had an operation on my thyroid, because something not-thyroid was growing on it, but now I’m out the other side and all is good. I’ve just got a scar that I’m already used to seeing every morning in the mirror. Ironically it’s a smiley scar, a grin almost, sitting there preaching his positive view on life. :)) (that’s a smiley with a thyroid operation scar).
So today I started with a 5km slow run around our usual Zaandam route. I felt heavy and a little tired, not surprising since I spent last week at an ASICS sales conference in Spain, and though there was plenty of sport ( I even made it home with gold medal) there was also a quantity of alcohol consumed in the company of my colleagues; they take their sport seriously but they know a thing or two about partying too.
So, wish me luck, this is a girl getting back on track.

Great to have you back, I’m sorry to hear you’ve had to have surgery, but it sounds as if you’ve taken a good approach to recovery. Take care.
Good luck, Mairéad!
Good luck with getting back into it, very cute with the smiley scar thing :)
Good to have you back. You’ll be back up to speed in no time.
