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.

Could not stand the thought of another treadmill day so I did an easy 9.1 on the indoor track  5.25 laps to the mile is a lot better than going nowhere.  Total time 1:26.

89 laps on the .18 mile/lap indoor track in 2:29 giving an average pace of9:20.  Boring as all get out but I really wanted a long run and with the weather this was the only reasonable way to do it.

Easy treadmill run after yesterdays long run.  Ran 7 miles at 9:13 then 2.1 miles at 8:45-8:00. Felt slow and tired for the first two miles then felt great the rest of the way.

After a 2.3 mile warm up I did 3x1600 at 7:30 pace with half mile easy pace between each.  Legs were tired today so I did not want to try faster or further today.  Then a 2 mile stedy state cool down at 8;30 pace.  Tired but a good workout.
