I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.40	0.00	0.00	0.00	7.40

Ran with Julie and Angela today. Wanted to have a nice easy recovery paced run but of course we end up running a little faster than planned. It felt like a comfortable speed though and I feel good now so maybe my slow days should be a little faster than I think. We talked the whole time very easily so who knows. Hopefully it was slow enough and I have enough juice for Saturday. Taking tomorrow off totally and I am going to stretch and ice today and tomorrow. I think my back pain is due to really tight hip flexors so a little stretching will probably do some good. Overall pace-8:38

Good run Michelle. I like the feeling of heading out for an "easy" run and bring a time in faster than I thought. Easy used to be 12 min miles, now 8.5 or so is easy.

Glad you were able to get the picture uploaded!

Did you make St G?

I did. Well kind of. Last year I got in and didn't run (lack of time) so I was automatic for this year. Thanks again for your help with compressing. I tried a zip file yesterday and it just wasn't working.

Kelli-That was at the finish line of SL Marathon this spring. It was the most recent picture I had. I am always such a goof for the camera. I had a few closer up but I looked like s*!#
