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.

Two mile warm up then a 5 mile tempo with AP 7:48.  Felt better than the 3 miles I ran at this pace Saturday.  Still surprised it seems hard at a really rather slow pace.

Just 4 easy miles in the park this morning.  Maybe more later or might just crosstrain.

Ran over to join the Friday after work crowd at Baranof.  Ran back for a total of 4 more easy miles.

 Not happy with todays run. Went to the track to monitor speed.  2 mile warm up at 18:00.  Then miles of 7:48, 7:58. 8:02 and 8:05.  Not so bad except my legs were shot after only 4 miles at HMP.  2 mile cool down in 17.  Oh well maybe 8:20 is too fast for current fitness
