Holy Cow I feel like Shit...

After having planned a long run of 10-12 miles today I woke up with a horrible headache due to the (don't laugh) 2 Sam Adams I had after 2AM, not a good idea. As I type this its actually 15 degrees outside and the windchill makes it feel like 5 or 1 Oh I don't know but I'm going to get it done in this dreadful weather because I am tired of the dreadmill, I  need to be outside to run. I started running again in October 2010. I started of slow and steady with a lot of cross training to build up the weak muscle groups. I am glad to say that while I have had some issues I have had no injuries that  had me stop running altogether. I have been able to get to the gym at least 2 times a week and I am happy with my improvements. I have lost over 15 pounds and have had my BMI go from 26% to 19%. While I am short of my long term goals I am very happy with my short term improvements. Stay tuned for regular updates....

The base training has begun

This was my basic run to the East side river park. Going out in the evening is allowing me to get acclimated to the humidity and heat. While I do have upcoming races i should be well prepared for the tasks. While I am building a base i am having a hard time trying to figure out how best to add some speed work to my training so as to not lose the hard earned fitness that I have earned during the last 6 months. I threw in a 6:51 mile only because some a$$hole passed me but it was what he did after wards that got me upset. He kept looking over his shoulder to see if I was near so I decided to blast right passed him. i went from and 8 minute mile to a 6:51 mile and he could never keep up. not bad for an old guy.
