Ran outside for a little plus 2 miles on the treadmill at Wenda's gym. Went pretty well, I increased speed a every tenth of a mile and then put it up to 12 mph for a minute before cooling down a little. Then we went to a park to stretch out. I'm not entirely set on it, but I'm thinking of committing to run a marathon this fall.

My lungs are fighting me on the whole getting back into shape thing. Not sure what's up with that. My body looks in shape, but the fitness isn't there. 2 miles at 6:30 pace, I want to run a marathon at just under 6:30 pace but I'll have to put in a lot of work to get there. February I'm going to be running a few times a week for 2-5 miles and then I'll see how my body is responding going into march.

Can remember what the other run I did earlier this week was. I ran 3 miles at 7:23 pace, it was nice and easy.

2 miles on a crappy treadmill and then an endurance core workout.

Was thinking about running today and then saw Coach Murphy's comment on my last run and decided to do a 4 mile run for the first time in...a while. My body was pretty tired and my lungs were complaining today, but it felt good to get in a solid run.
