Starting Point

Have you ever wanted to lose a few pounds? Well you know that the hardest part is stepping on the scale for the first time and seeing the damage. Instead of wanting to lose weight, I wanted to see my race fitness. That first race out is always the worst, because you do not know where you are with your training. It made it worse when I have not raced since last fall. I ran a 16:39 5k race which is an ok time. My splits were 5:22, 5:24 and 5:15 for the last mile. I was happy that I was able to finish strong. I will take this race and build upon it.
My mileage for the week was 69 miles. I ran a 5 mile AT run on Monday with a 6:10 average. My long run of 14 miles was on Wednesday. The weather has been great recently and I hope it continues. If you have any questions about running you can post them on my Running Forum or Email me. Until next time, have a Great Run.
