I had a decent run today.  I was kinda excited about it.  I started off doing some Nautilus machines and then a quick 10 minutes on the Elliptical before my run.  I figured that should be a good warm up before my run.  The first mile of the run was great.  Then probably around 1.5 miles I hit a wall. I stopped and walked for about 30 secs and then started running again.  Then I hit the wall again 4 minutes later. So again I walked for about 30 secs and then started running.  From that point on I felt great!  Breathing was awesome and my body felt great.  I think I will stop trying to understand how fix this "Wall" thing.  I am just going to keep running and I think it will work itself out.  I plan on running again tomorrow.  I normally don't do back to back running days so I will probably keep it under 3 miles, probably 2. 
My first 5K of the year is coming up in 2 weeks.  I am kinda excited about running a race again.  My last one was back in November.  If I didn't have my 3 month layoff from running due to my injury I think I would be setting a new PR in 2 weeks.  But I am taking it slow for this race and hopefully I will not be hitting any walls.  I have been averaging  a little over 10 min miles on my runs lately.  Pretty slow compared to where I was back in November.  My running will come back and I know I will be better then ever!
