Ran two miles at PT test pace. I am still getting back into the swing of things and finished with a 13:30. I started off really slow and booked it at the end. It felt nice to let the legs out a bit. We run it on a 5 lap course, so it is a little different. The first two laps I ran in 6:00 which ends up being a 15:00 two mile pace. The last three laps pulled it together and finished with a 13:30.

From there I just ran two laps on the track at a nice comfortable pace. My GPS died on me on lap one of the two mile, so I didn't get any good info...

Had a nice slower/recovery run today. I averaged an 8:18 pace and according to my HRM I averaged 173 BPM...wow, much higher than it used to be.

I am amazed at what a few months of inactivity will do to you. It seems like it takes half the time to loose your fitness. Weird. Maybe it will come back faster though, it already feels like it though.

Finished with a push-up set and my little Ab 300.

A good run. Just slow. I think I may have felt a little twinge this morning in my leg...I hope not!

Well, run #1 in these Reebok shoes. I can't believe that I would say that Reebok has a good running shoe, but I think they have done a pretty good job with this one. You've probably seen the ads for this shoe. It has the 76 or however many "buddies" on the bottom. It flexes and moves very well and is designed to help you run more "naturally" on your forefoot.

They are extremely light. The upper is basically just a thin peice of fabric, no real protection, just a suede fabric. So far I am pretty impressed...as hard as that is for me to say with a Reebok.
