I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.

15 miles at a snails pace.  I would have liked to go a bit quicker but stayed with Neil as he struggled a bit.  I just reminded myself that long runs are all about time on the road, especially while still recovering from last Sundays race.  Probably the best thing that could have happened.

2 mile warm up 5 mile tempo at 7:20 pace 2 mile cool down

I felt really good today and the tempo run went pretty effortlessly. A week and a half to my 20 miler. Goal is to run 7:15's as long as I can.  If it works out time should be 2:15.

Double sessions today.  7.3 in the a.m. in an 1:01  followed by 6.8 afternoon run with the boys in 1:07.  Felt good for both runs.

3.25 miles in 25:36   7:50 pace

Angry run as a personal issue fired me up.  Tweaked my ankle.  Hopefully it'll be O.K. for tommorrow.
