Starting over hurts like Heck

(fitness blah-g)

Yes, I'm starting over... again. Starting over sucks.

After a 5 week break in my workouts (not including dragging luggage through European train stations) I rolled into 24 Hr Fitness in Berkeley last Wednesday at 5 am. I punched 30 minutes into the treadmill and Lo' and Behold, I was gasping and wheezing in less than 2 minutes and had to break up my run with intervals of walking.

Starting over REALLY sucks.
