Trying to get back on track

It's been a while since blogging or running. I was volunteered to coach a middle school baseball team, didn't really have time but the kids would not have a team otherwise. It was a lot of fun although took all my time away from running. Boy is it hard to get started again after a layoff.

I did a couple of runs with Angella to help her leading up to the Mount Washington race, which she did awesome, for anybody, especially considering her condition. 2 hours 16 minutes. Congratulations Angella, you are my hero. Know she is thinking about Boston Marathon. You go girl!!

Anyway, I have figured out a schedule for my self and am looking to get back to training it a bad way, miles and miles here I come. Lets do it!

I felt fast, I need more endurance, hence bigger mileage. It was hot but felt good. Its been a long time since we ran in the heat. I was VERY excited that Ang. was able to come out and run. I am so happy to see her out there. Justin said in his blog that she is superwoman, I would agree with that!
