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!

week 2, getting excited
It was great to be able to see the group on Saturday at Justin's house. Just being around such a group gives me motivation and excitement to start training again. I am planning on starting workouts with the Keenyans on Wednesdays. Should be alot of fun. Now to just get fit enough to hit some long runs.
Monday - 4m/27:28, felt good just ran out of time.
Wednesday- what a workout. My first one back and It felt great. Running with the Keenyans can make anybody motivated to run fast. Looking foward to hitting these everyweek.
7x400 full rest, 2x200 200 recovery
400's - 68,75,73,76,75,72,71
2oo's - 30,31
I was able to hang on a little faster than I thought I could. Although I wish I could have done one more 4 and two more 2's. Maybe next time. Total of 9.5 with warm up and cool down.
Thursday - 5m/ 41:07, easy run to loosen things up, a little tight after yesterday's workout.
Friday - 0 miles, had to work late.
Saturday - 9m/1:07:21
Sunday - Was hoping for a long run but didn't happen.
Week Total:28.5
This was a bad week. I will have to find a way to get more miles in next week and there after.

1st week back
After alot of time off I am finally finding the motivation to get back to it. I have some pretty big goals to go after if I can find the time to train for them. Angella is feeling great and is starting to train for the Mt. Washington race. My hat is off to her, she is such an inspiration. I have no reason to complain about anything.
3/8/10-3/14/10
Mon.- 8 on the roads/1:01:22
Tues- 6 on the roads/ 44:47
Wed.- 3 with Angella and Bryant, 3 on the treadmill
Thur.- off
Fri.- 4 pushing Peyton in the stroller, 1/2 mile repeats uphill in 4:00
Sat.- 8 /1:00, legs starting to feel heavy
Sun.-10/1:20, 5:30 am, raining buckets, actually the buckets were coming sideways. I saw one car that slowed down and just stared at me. What were they thinking? I was thinking this sucks but after I recover I will be a couple of seconds faster than last week.
week total-42
Overall I feel pretty good about this week. Looking at my mileage and times I am a little sad and slightly ashamed. I guess I have to start somewhere. One thing I have learned over the past year is we all need endurance just to get through life. Sometimes when I start to lose hope I know I can always look down and just keep putting one foot in front of the other to keep moving foward.
