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.

First run of the new year.  Did 9.5 miles down to the Old Mill and two loops there and then back home.  Felt more tired than pace would suggest.  Cold is hanging in there I think.

AM:  Ran a 1.5 mile warm up then did a progression 5K.  Started at 8:00 pace and finished the last third at 7:00 for a 23:02 5K.  Not bad as this felt like tempo rather than race pace at the end.  Will do more later.

PM:  Did about  an easy hour on the treadmill and ended up with 7.2 miles at AP:8:42.
