I'm back from my mission, just got back on Wednesday. This was my first run since I've been back. I only ran a handful of times in two years, and I'm pretty out of shape.

 The run went pretty well. I did six miles at a  7:11 pace. It was hard, but not as bad as I thought. One stretch of my run was really uphill, and I was hurting then, but overall it felt pretty good. 

 Does anyone have any advice for getting back in shape after my mission?

This was a pretty good run. I wasn't as sore as I would have expected, and it felt good. I went over to Sugarhouse park and ran on the grass there. I'm being careful and I don't want to get injured. 

 I ran four miles at a 6:44 pace, and it felt really good. I pushed my last mile and did a 6:07. It felt good to finish it out nice and quick. I also did a few strides at the end.

Today I did a short run. I went up past Skyline and turned around. I kept it pretty easy until I got to skyline, then I did a few laps on the track. I'm not sure how fast I was going, but my third mile was 6:00. I felt pretty good, and I was sore, but not too sore.

 My average pace for the run was 7:05.

Today I was in Provo, so I ran around BYU. I did a short run, only 3.5 miles, and it wasn't too hard. I averaged about 7:00 for my run. I was sore again, but not bad.
