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.

Sunny day and the cough level was under 100 per mile. lungs are improving but none to fast. It is unnerving to breath so hard while running slow. Whale park and back for 8.5 miles in 75 minutes or about 8:49/mile. Except for breathing so hard no other issues.

Cloudy day and the cough level was under 80 per mile. Lungs are improving but none to fast. It is unnerving to breath so hard while running slow. Whale park and back for 8.5 miles in 73 minutes or about 8:40/mile. Except for breathing so hard, no other issues.

Ran 4 miles on an out and back to the track. Hoped to do some intervals there, but the track was covered in glare ice. Ran back to the gym and finished with 4 miles on the treadmill at a 8:20 pace.

Sunny day, great 30 degree afternoon for the Whale Park out and back route.

Lungs finally seem to be mostly clear with only minor coughing today. Ultra consistant with 35:50 minutes out and 36:10 minutes back.

Tried out the heart rate monitor. Ave 146 ( 112-166) for the easy run. I hope that is part due to the 9 days off and the flu. HR is too high for an easy day its almost tempo rate. Think I will try15-20 seconds a mile slower tomorrow and see what I get. For us old folk an easy day should be a HR of 130 or less.

After yesterdays unexpexted rest day I thought I better put a few miles in today. Ran the 1/2 marathon course plus a bit. Ran slow and easy, realizing I am still not 100% as my lungs are still stuffy and have periodic bouts of coughing. So easy 13.5 miles 1:59 for just under 9:00 min/ mile. Tired but feel fine.
