Starting again! LOL
I went running yesterday to the track, and I didn't get as much running in as I wanted, but I did run. I walked for 5 mins (quite fast, LOL) then ran for 10 mins then walked for 5 (cool down). I was hoping to do another run interval, but I just couldn't. I knew I could have forced myself, but I don't want to cause any injuries, so I just let it be. I went into it wanting to do 10, but told myself if I got too tired, out of breath, etc... then I would stop running after 6 or 8 (depending where I was time wise). I was getting tired after 3 mins, but knew I had to continue. LOL. I wouldn't let myself stop after 3 mins. I kept running, and started to feel less tired, and it became easy again. The 9 min mark was hard, but since I was so close to my 10 min goal, I wasn't going to stop. LOL. I ended up getting a stitch early in my run (within the first 2 mins) but breathed through it and it went away, but I wasn't so lucky when I got the second stitch around the 8 min mark. That one would not go away. It got dull, but never actually went away. I was hurting last night tho. My legs felt like rubber until I went to bed, and my back and stomach were sore! I took 2 advil before I went to bed and I'm fine today (well my back is a bit sore, but nothing major and I'm used to a sore back anyway). Hopefully when I get running on Friday, I will be able to do another run interval. I might go to 8 min intervals and see how I do with that instead of doing the 10 min interval and not being able to do anything else. My goal is to do 10 min run intervals with a walk of 2-3 mins inbetween for the Fiddlers. I would like to have 1 min walk intervals, but I do want to be somewhat realistic. LOL.

Good that you're getting back into the running! I know it's hard with your schedule. I would switch to shorter intervals and more of them. If you could do 3 or so 6 minute intervals that's a total of 18 minutes of run time. If you do two 8 minute intervals that's a 16 minute run time. Or even 8, 5, 8 minute intervals. It doesn't have to be the same amount of minutes each interval. You'll definitely be able to do the 10 minute intervals at the fiddlers! Register tomorrow or the price goes up by $5!!!
