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.

Still in Eugene running on the river trail.  Did a 1.5 warm up and then a progression run decreasing .25 mile times from 2:15 down to 1:55.  Great run felt good throughout.

Eight "easy" miles around Orem, Ut.  Here at Sundance for a conference.  Just "love" the altitude that can make an easy run a tempo without the speed.

Ran up the hill to the golf course and then down to the end of the road.  Felt really slow today I think this cold has taken some strength.  Felt way better on the way back....course it was downhill.
