8am - 1 mile - 13:10 pace.  YIKES!  It's clear I have some work to do.

Went on empty stomach.  Felt fine.  Legs are really tired - 2 hour HIT (high intensity cycling on indoor trainers at WCCC) class last night.  Completed Abs and Stretch last before bed.  Slept ok.

9am - 1 mile - 12:32 pace.  Better.

Did core and stretch last night.  Got good sleep.  During run - about half way - started to feel in the zone.  Started to wonder what would happen if I showed up to my races this year fully prepared.  :)

Tomorrow is rest day.  Great run to end the week.

Last night - hard workout.  Spin before run.  Sluggish, but complete.

Used new HR monitor - bad idea - chest strap too tight - beeped the whole time.  Need to practice with tool before tomorrow's run.  Legs felt good.

Completed Abs/Stretch last night

Clyde - let's meet next week on Thursday morning (after 2 weeks of 1 mile runs) to review new plan and go for a mile run to check form.  Would that work for you?  I am good with not eating as long as I wake up and go run.  If i screw around for an hour or so, I start to get hungry

Didn't feel well this morning.  Fit it in at work.  Felt good to go faster, even if it was just on the treadmill.  :)

Clyde - see you next Thursday.  FYI - I bot 2 new pair of RUNNING shoes from Steve.  :)

Ran after spin class.  I felt like a runner today.  It felt great.  Put the music on and just let my body do what it knows how to do.  Awesome.

Spin class - 8 miles.

8am - 1 mile - 11:11

Felt good.  Seems like I start feeling good about half way in.  Try to end on a faster note.  Running with music is helping me.  Still good with not eating before running.

Need to refocus on stretching and abs each night.

10:30am - 2.4 miles with Clyde - 22:30 minutes (ish) 

Holy cow - I just did a pace calculator on that - 9:22 pace - WOOOHOOO!!!

It is obvious that I need a watch that does pace.  I can run much faster than I think I can.  My goal is distance and just getting the miles in,  but I was afraid that I had really slowed down.

I am getting excited about what is next for me when I do the proper training.  :)

6:30pm - HIT Class was 2 hours and BRUTAL.

3pm - 1.5 miles - Treadmill - 10:35 pace.

After being in a meeting for 5 hours, it felt great to go run.  My food was off, so I didn't feel like I had much.  I did the minimum and felt good that I completed it.

Did Abs and Stretch.

Home loop. Went faster then I thought.  I hate to admit it, but I think Clyde is right - the consistency brings the commitment and confidence.  lol.\

Dealing with tight calf muscles.  Need to stretch all day.

2 hour HIT class - Cycling - 6:30pm

2.2 miles - 9:30pm - Home loop - 10:03 pace.

Very shocked and excited that I had that kind of pace after a killer HIT class.  Oddly enough, I really liked running at night.  Not sure I will ever fall asleep, but i liked it.  lol

Still have knees and feet soreness.  Big stretch tonight.

Tried to run according to heart rate.  2.2 miles at 150.  .5 miles at 160.  .5 at 170.  Tomorrow will try different heart rates for same distance.

Felt good.  Still tight, but April loosened a ton up.  NEED TO STRETCH EVERY NIGHT. 

Abs and stretch are next for me.  Need to focus on hydration too.

6am - 4 miles - around 50 minutes - Winchester Loops.

Started out to fast.  Bonked around first mile.  Settled in starting mile 2.5.  Slow... slow miles are good miles.  

Not sure if I like running in the morning at all.  Ran with old running buddy -I know I am making progress - be patient.
