 My left hamstring is feeling better, so I have started running again. The weather has been quite chilly here, so I wore two layers on top and a beany when I went for my last run.  It was a 5km run around the Kai Tak Development area.  My legs felt fine, but the constraint is still my breathing.  I'm still not very fit.  I realise this will be a long process to get back to my level of fitness from years before.

One of my main goals this year is to run a half-marathon in a decent time.  I say a decent time is something under 1 hour and 45 minutes.  To be serious about this, I really need to make the sort of running schedules I used to do.  I should make a spreadsheet of targets per week, which steadily increase to something significant.  These days, I don't expect I can run 6 days per week like I used to.  Or, at least, I won't be able to run 6 days per week immediately.

When I am working from home, it should actually be easier to find time to go for a run.  I have the flexibility to start work earlier and finish later, and go for a run in the middle of the day.  Or I could finish earlier and go for a run after work.
