I have no Idea how it happened but I put this entry on Nov. 26 of 2012... Thanks JG for noticing it. Now it's corrected :-)
___________________________________________________________________
I was out of town (at my parents) and today was a Cross-Training Day but I didn't have anywhere to bike or elliptical so I decided to do an easy run instead. This is the first "easy" run in at least 8 weeks. All my runs have been Repeats, Tempo or Long runs, all with very specific paces and distances. The RLRF program makes every workout a very exerted effort (maybe that's because I chose the 3:15 marathon plan...ha ha). I probably should have picked a slower goal based on the fact that my one and only marathon time was 3:38:09 (there are excuses :-( , Anyway, back to the subject at hand... I decided to just run hard enough to keep my HR at 140. There are a few rolling hills so I did have a little fluxuation, but not much. The run was very plesant and seemed very easy!
I went back and compared this "easy" run today with my first ever 8 mile run back on 8/29/10, my pace back then was 9:40 and my HR 136...quite a difference in the two runs :-)
I've got some tough Repeats today (Tues. as I write this) which may knock the wind out of my sail but for now I'm very pleased with my progress.

Ephesians 6:2-3
1-3 Children, do what your parents tell you. This is only right. "Honor your father and mother" is the first commandment that has a promise attached to it, namely, "so you will live well and have a long life."
