Still running! I had to get into the gym and hit the treadmill between meetings yesterday, but I was able to complete my target workout. I wanted to run ten half-mile intervals at a consistent and aggressive pace, and I did that, with the intervals at 8.6mph (3:29/half-mile pace). Total 9.0 miles including warm-up and cool-down. I was going to bring my iPod but forgot. It is harder without music. Still, I am getting back into condition faster than I expected.
I was really not sure I would make it this far without missing a day. It has been difficult to find time every day to run, but I've definitely been in a better mood as I've slowly started to return to decent shape. Also, I finally seem to be making a little progress on my weight. It is hard to be certain because my weight tends to vary by 2-3 pounds from morning to morning, but I think I'm now down a pound or two from where I started a month ago.
I have not yet picked a target first race, but that's on my list.
I got to work for an early meeting that started at 5:30 a.m. this morning. Hoping that means I can get off work early today to take advantage of the predicted nice weather and get in 6 miles or so this afternoon.
