Two months into ramping back up to consistent running.  Four miles this eve without stopping!  Nice to have decent weather to continue this comeback.  I plan on keeping it at 4/day for 4 or 5 days/week for a bit while also adding in striders and thrice weekly resistance workouts.  Down ten lbs over last several weeks... ten more to go sheesh

Evening run in the neighborhood.  Failed to hit 20 miles for the week, so I need to lay out exactly when I shall run my 4 milers this week... Sun PM, Tues AM, Wed PM, Fri AM, Sat AM.  Will do that for a couple weeks and reassess.

Chilly (62) damp neighborhood run this morning.  Felt pretty good... not quite runner-like, but getting there.

Nice evening run - actually was able to sort through some work issues while running rather than thinking about how horrible it is to be so out of shape. Things are looking up.

Wasn't quite feeling the four miler this evening so I bailed out and then walked a mile and a half later with the dog. Too much boating yesterday and yard work today.. well you can never actually have too much boating.

Your comeback seems to be progressing nicely. Running with a dog is really enjoyable - isn't it? - --especially when you can let them off the leash for a bit.

Felt borderline great on the trails after work.  Ran the flatter portion of a 5.5 miler I used to frequent... 15 lbs ago  :)

Brisk (temperature and pace!) short run in the dark this morning before taking the car for oil change before work.  Will do 5 mi on the trails tomorrow for 20 on the week.

Hate time changes of all sorts, but it was indeed nice being able to see where I was running at 0630 this morning.  Gonna run the next two or three mornings as well, then it will become challenging as we jump on a cruise ship for ten days.  I am treadmill-phobic, but the wogging trail on upper deck is supposedly 6 laps to mile - not too bad.  By Friday, I should be down 15 lbs since mid Aug - thatll work.  Another 15 fat loss and 10 muscle added and we are good to go.

Amazing sunrise run in the neighborhood... amazing sunrise - run, so-so.  Dawn of a new day, 'murica

Always a fun time at the trot.  Got back from our ten day cruise on Monday.  I was fairly good while on ship - ran 6 of 10 days but no more than 3 miles each run.  Trotted this morning to a 24:20 finish with miles at 8:01, 8:00 and last 1.1 at 8:18 - pretty pleased actually.

Happy Thanksgiving!
