Personal:

I got back into running in January 2007. Lost 35 pounds and keep trying to follow my high school track/cc son around. Soon found out that coaching was a better choice. Ran semi seriously in high school ( 4:30 ish mile), but had done no running in 29 years. I think I'm back and complain heavily when not allowed to run.

Take Shape for Life helped me lose 25 pounds after I had been a runner for a number of years and my half marathon time clearly reflected that.....I must add that I feel and look way more like a runner.

Rest day today. Just ran long enough to warm up. 2 very easy miles and the last at 10K pace just to sweat a little bit.

6.5 slow miles on the slick ice, deep slush and at times hard rain. All in still a good run as I wasn't on a treadmill for a change.

Really easy 6.55 miles in the park and a little way out the road. 90 mph winds last night kept me up most of the night. Did not feel recovered this morning so just ran a really easy pace.

Finally a nice sunny day to start doing longer runs. Since I have not gone over 12 recently I stopped at 15.5 at about 9:00 pace. Still going but that was long enough foe right now.
