I was short of breath during this run. Not running regularly has really caught up to me. I am really out of shape. I started to run walk after a little bit. Overal pace was 12:32/mile which was faster than my 13:12/mile pace on tuesday that I did without walking.

Today was a really nice day for a run. I ran the first .65 miles without walking. I then started doing run walk intervals until I got to 1 mile. My average pace was in the 12:30/mile zone. Tomorrow I am going to try to get up in the morning and run/walk two miles.

My run today was a little shorter than I anticipated. I ran intervals after a while and walked for a ways after I had ran 1.25 miles. I didn't count the long walk as part of my mileage. Then I ran another .25 miles without stopping.

My run this afternoon went well. I was able to run the first mile without stopping. I walked a little bit of the last .16 miles. My overall pace today was 12'23"/mile. I feel good this evening. I am just hoping that my cardio endurance increases soon so I am able to run like I used to.

My run went well today. My breathing was a little better today. I just ran a really slow pace and then finished strong. I went out to run 1.25 miles and ended up running 1.32. My average pace was 13'03"/mile. So I was pretty slow but I felt pretty good.

My run went pretty well. I pushed through the pain to run farther than I have in a while. It was a good run. I am starting to get more motivated to get out and run. I need to find a race to register for to keep me going. Mabey a 5 or 10K.

Nice run after work on a dirt road near camp. Lots of gradual uphill stretches on this run. I had to walk for some of it but I didn't walk for long.

I pushed my son in the jogging stroller today. It was a nice run with a negative split. The first half was pretty much a slow uphill.

I didn't plan on running 3.12 miles today, but I felt good so I lengthened my run by about a half a mile. Tomorrow I am going to try to run 3.5 miles. I pushed my son in the stroller today so my miles were not fast but I did run the second two miles faster than the first mile.

My run this morning went well. I ran faster than when I push my son in the stroller so that was a plus. The final mile was the fastest of all four miles. I feel good.
