Personal:

I am a 52 yr. old single father of four children.  I am retired after injuring my back in 2000. I had back surgery, stopped running, and gained about 80 pounds. Decided to take my health into my own hands....lost 100 pounds, went to Nepal and trekked for two months in the Himalayas...climbed almost 18,000 ft.....felt so proud of myself....began running again. I qualified for Boston in Oct. 2009. I have shifted my focus now on ultra-marathons with the hope to run my first this year.

Partly cloudy, 55 F and winds out of the NW @ 19 mph.

My very first outside track speed workout. Ran 1 mile warmup, then 4 half mile speed runs with half mile cooldown in between. I didn't want to overdo my first track run, but I need to do more laps with less cooldowns in between.

Splits were.....1- 3.15 minutes

                      2- 3.13

                      3- 3.09

                      4-3.11

8 mile easy pace run tomorrow.

Had to take Matthew to emergency today, then Mom to the dentist this afternoon, so no time for running or strength training. Lots going on this week, so I'm not logging many miles, but that might be a good thing as this adductor injury seems to still be lingering, although I'm able to run but not pain free. Things always happen as they should, so I will go with it!

Mostly cloudy, 59 F and winds out of the NW @ 8 mph.

Ran 22 miles as an endurance run today. I could not head out until almost 1 PM so it got quite warm later in the run. Ran in 3 hours 8 minutes, but I would of finished in 3 hours or slightly less but I had to walk the last 3/4 mile because I ran out of water and felt very dehydrated. I don't think I will do a long run so late in the day again during the summer months. With the walk I ran an average pace of 8.33 minutes.
