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.

Park out to the church route.  Ended up at 8:57 pace.  A little fast right now for easy pace miles but felt solid.

Ran to the track for a 1.6 warm-up.  Then just ran at an easy pace and timed the laps to see what that currently is.  I varied between 8:50 and 9:05. Did 5.5 on the track then ran the 1.5 back to the gym.

Ran an easy paced 6.5 mph treadmill recovery run.  Legs are OK but hips are a little sore.  Will run a slow 6-8 tommorrow then rest Sunday before trying a real run over 2 hours next week.

Treadmill run today.  Did 1 mile at 9:30 pace then 6.25 miles  at 8:57 pace and cooled down 1 mile at 9:30 pace.  Good easy run with just slightly higher effort than I would have liked for an easy day.

Hill workout on the treadmill.  5 minute warm up 6.3 mph at 1%.  Then 5 minutes at 4% back to 1% for 5 minutes.  The rest of the run was 6 minutes at 5% and 4 minutes at 1% until I got to 6.5 miles.  Good workout and not too strenuous on the body.

Great sunny day here in southeast Alaska.  Time for the first long run of this training cycle.  I was determined to keep the pace moderate.  Ended up exactly 2 hours and 13.5 miles.  Mission accomplished.
