Slow road back

When you've given everything for your "A race" it's not easy to get back to training especially when you are being careful and recovering properly.  It's now 5 weeks and I've started to adventure back out.  On Wednesday last week I went for my 2nd run but I had to force myself out of the door - mentally I didn't want to go through the pain.  The good news is my heart rate fell from the previous run and I didn't suffer the DOMS in the following two days.
I was away in London the next two days but on Saturday went out on my bike.  That was a lot tougher than I thought it would be.  My heart rate was racing and I was struggling with my breath on the hills.  Fortunately I met a pal who dragged me home for the 2nd half of the ride but in total it was only 1.5 hours!
This tells me my body is still fatigued but that I also need to get back into a regular training programme.  On Sunday morning I attended a new yoga class for an hour.  It was tough but in a good way.  I think my body really appreciated the workout and this is definitely going to be part of my training to get me ready for the Grand Canyon in 2017 www.g2gultra.com .
Come September I will have a training plan scoped out as this is when I work best.  Having goals written down and monitored by a third party who I am accountable to gets the best out of me but for now I'll ease my way back into training.  And before I forget how to swim, I'll be getting back into a loch while the water is warm enough and back this up with some pool training.  It will be a slow road back but improving my strength and flexibility is a priority and will help reduce my chances of injury.
