New Start - take two

So 2 days after my last post, which would have been 11/19, I ran 3 miles. We went to Panama City Beach 11/18 - 11/22. My oldest had a football tournament there and I was hoping to run on the beach. With the busy schedule, it didn't happen. It gets dark there just a little before 5 since they are right over the time change line. Shucks! I was able to walk a lot, and did great on a 3 mile run one night. I ran a 10 min. mile pace and my leg felt great! Right after we returned from that trip, we had family come to town. I ran a 10k with my brother. My brother is not a runner really, but he did great. We mixed in some walking and my ITB never bothered me. I was so excited. I have the running bug again. I want to start training. But Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and now I have some sort of mild but draining cough thing. I may wait another day before I start running. I really hope scaling back and resting my legs have helped. I'm sooooo wanting to run pain free.
