It's amazing how much five weeks off running can do to your fitness. Of course I've had longer layoffs, and I never really thought about how much fitness I could lose, but this time it's different. The past 6-8 months have seen so much improvements in my running that I'm keen to not let it slip.
But when your parents are in town and it's their first time in the UK and Europe, then you're on holiday with your parents. So in the past month or so, as soon as I returned from holiday, I've been busy getting back into running and building those fitness levels again.
