Starting again

I'm slowly getting back to training and finding that my body is still tired but actually responding well to the exercise.  On Saturday I ran 1 lap of Chatelherault (5 miles) focusing on my new Chi running style.  It's early days but I seem to be running much lighter and hills seemed to vanish.  All the time I was focusing on my style and taking the feedback from my body.  Within 10 minutes of starting I had a couple of niggles with my knee but they disappeared.  I wasn't trying to run fast but ended up with a fast time.  Afterwards I could feel a couple of different muscles letting me know they had worked but when you consider I'm not running with my orthotics or shoes with support it's unbelievable.  I've a lot to learn about Chi running but I'm studying the theory to help with my transition.
This afternoon I went out on the bike for a spin with my mate Jim.  He was suffering from a cold so wasn't wanting a hard session which suited me fine as I hadn't been out on the road on my bike in 8 months.  It felt great but the hills took their toll and my average speed was back to where it was 3 years ago so plenty of work to be done in that department.  30 miles was a reasonable start but as a friend pointed out - I can run further than that! 
I think I'll sleep tonight and take a few days to recover from my reintroduction to training.  But I loved it!
