Have not run in years now. My son Joe has been running, and registred for the Marine Corps Marathon at the end of October in D.C.

New Record 19:48 (on a treadmill)

Last Thursday I ran a 19:51 on the treadmill in the gym downstairs, and yesterday 19:48.

The key was doing the math ahead of time and calculating the pace needed. That way I didn't go out too fast and have to walk.

Almost a record

Well.. It was on a treadmill, but I ran a 20:29 5K today. Two seconds off my best time.
We will have to beat that next week!

No exercise for a long time

Have not posted in forever. Here is an update.
Tracy and I started walking in January.
With Sarah watching the kids, we were free to escape for 20 minutes or so before or after work.
That ended in mid June when I took on coaching Joe's baseball team and then Sarah up late in a local production of Oklahoma! so anyway.... now the three eldest are off to college and either Katie or Joe will watch the kids or running is over.

I will see if I can get something started again.

One Mile

Joe and I got up and jogged one mile. It was slow (9:08) but it was significant.

5K with Joe

Joe wanted to get started running again so we did a Sugarland loop yesterday morning at 10:30 pace. It was grueling. We both were very out of shape.

I took today off to let my 40-year-old legs recover.
