I finally broke the seal on it tonight. Could only manage a sluggish, stopping and starting 8 km. Felt like shit about fifteen minutes into it. Four weeks off was too much. No idea how I'll get back up to strength in time for my first half marathon in March.

You did it, that's the important thing. I ran once in three weeks over Christmas because of illness and family and dreaded the set back, a couple of weeks and I'm back to where I was, if not fitter (I'm a newbie runner btw). Cut yourself some slack and let the endorphins back in your life.
I'm sick of fitness plans telling me how important sleep is, if I could frigging sleep more I would (sorry, 4.30am start today, thanks kiddo)

When it's raining sideways and only a few degrees outside it's not very tempting to go for a run but I find once you get going it's never as bad as it seems from in the house. Enough layers, gloves, etc and you'll be glad you got out.
