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.

Did the second marathon prep long run today.  Ran with a friend that runs a bit faster than me on training runs. Felt great for the first 13 but slowly started to fade as the run went on.  Kept the pace until the last mile then slowed quite a bit.  Ran 19 in 2:40 and the last mile in 10 so ended up at an average pace of 8:30 which is too fast for a training run as that is what I hope to run in the race next month.  Only refueled at 13 miles and I suspect I was running out of energy at the end.

Ran 10.25 at an easy 8:57 pace.  Legs a little tight from Sunday but really not bad at all.  Good run.

AM:  Quick morning treadmill run of 5.1 miles at an average pace of 8:47.

 

P.M. Back to the treadmill due to time constraints.  Pretty tired this afternoon and only ran another 6 miles at 8:49 pace.  Glad to have this run done with.
