Little Buddha

Well, I did 8 miles this morning with the Dave, Bill, James, and Steve.  Since the St. George Marathon I've gotten pretty out of shape and have gained quite a bit of weight.  I really ballooned over the break, I was really shocked when I got on the scale last night and weighed 162, that is almost a record high.  I think I was 165 for awhile when Sunny was pregnant with Jansen.  Anyway now that the new year is here I guess it is time to get back to running and eating better.  I felt pretty sore and stiff on the run this morning so I turned back early, it will take some time to get back into shape, but I'm confident I can lose the weight and get back to running more competitively again.  My pace was pretty good the first 4 miles around 7:20 average, but I slowed down a lot the second 4 miles. Overall pace was 8:00

Ran with Bill this afternoon, he came over to La Verkin and we ran up to the Overlook and then back down.  I was feeling pretty sore from the run yesterday, but I think I should be able to get back into shape within a few months. I've taken quite a bit of time off from running, pretty much ever since October I really haven't been that motivated or been very consistent with my training, but with the new year it is time to change that.

Ran 1 mile to measure a potential mile loop to use later for repeats.  Then did the loop down through Confluence Park, pretty windy today.  I didn't feel like running at all, but managed to get in my 6 miles for the day.
