After an injury, some weight gain and starting other sports, I finally went for a run again tonight to rest some other muscle groups. Feels good. I'm soooo sleepy now.

Well done! Don’t forget to stretch!

I’m just getting back into running, too, after about 5 years and weight gain. Just finished week 3 of Couch to 5K. I’ve enjoyed the structure and have avoided the urge to go longer and overtrain.

Goals: I have about 25 lbs to lose, would like to get to a 25 min 5K, and the endurance to do a 10K with ease.

Congratulations! It's great to be back isn't it?

Congrats! Very rewarding to have a successful run after recovering from an injury

An afternoon nap after a morning run is the best feeling. So cosy and satisfying.

Congrats! I get the sleepy part. I sometimes feel like I just want to fall asleep whatever time of day after a run.
