Running in Life's Slow Lane

Not much to post about but I got back onto the streets for the first time in over a month. Legs complained the entire way. We'll see how they feel tomorrow morning!

Location: Elmer Thomas Park, Lawton, Oklahoma

2.0 incredibly boring miles on the treadmill. Starting over sucks nearly as much as starting the first time.

With temperatures in the upper 70s I couldn't resist getting out on the paths at the park though I had suffered some food-related illness early Sunday morning. Thanks to a pair of rest breaks brought on by short visits with friends who also happened to be in the park enjoying the weather, I was able to accumulate 3 whole miles! 

Nice slow jog through the park this evening though it was a bit cooler than yesterday. Glad to have the tights and long sleeves as the wind was really gusting from the north.

Woo hoo. 5 miles in the last two days. Time for a day of rest tomorrow. Can't be accumulating the miles too fast at this point.

Climbed on the treadmill at my parents' home and managed to cover 2.0 miles at a nice jogging pace.

Got the first week of the new training program done. Of course, now I realize I have been posting the last week of workouts on the wrong dates. Cie la vie, no?

A quick cold jog around the park as the sun was setting. Tried to pick up the pace since it was just 2.00 miles. We'll see how much the legs complain tomorrow.

Another short jog through Elmer Thomas park. Thankfully the temperatures were a bit higher and the wind a bit slower than yesterday. Kept an ambitious pace for 1.5 miles and then drifted slower as I neared the end of the workout. 

I got through today's 3.00 mile jog as dictated by the running schedule. Still trying to keep my default pace a little peppy. Temperatures near 70*F made it seem like spring. Next run is not slated to happen until next year.
