Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Indoor track 1/2 mile walking warmup, run 2.5 miles, picked up a bit on the last half mile and that was fun.  Followed by 15 min. on the Lateral Helix Machine.  My fitness level is not as bad as I thought it would be after a month off, but it probably helped that I did some cross training, instead of just nothing.  I need to go get some new shoes.  Its time.  I'm thinking about trying out some altras.

Indoor track 1/2 mile warmup walk.  Ran 2.5 miles at a nice comfortable pace.  Then 15 minutes on the Lateral machine.  Will do core strengthening as well.  I always do that as part of my work out, just forget to blog about it.  

The track was so crowded this morning, guess everyone there was wimpy like me and don't want to run in the cold.  I play a little game as I go round and round to try and keep from getting bored.  I look at the shoes people are wearing and try to guess what brand/model it is.  There's some saucony's, oh some nice flashy brooks pure connects, hmmm...that does not look like any sorta brand, maybe payless shoes, then here come some Altras Intuitions, this lady might be a serious runner.  This game never gets old, or at least it hasn't yet.

Outside run, Yeah for the beautiful weather.  Tried out my Garmin forerunner 10 for the first time and it worked like a charm.  I think I'm gonna love having a gps watch this season.  Ran 2.55 and it was pretty great.
