(Slightly Less) Lame Treadmill Workout

Distance: 7.5 miles
Time: 120 minutes
Pace: 16:00

Average Speed: 3.75 MPH

Yet another lame treadmill run. This time I ran/walked while studying for school so it took a little longer than usual. Which I don't mind by any means. You don't get that time back when you run, may as well put it to some use.

Lame Treadmill Workout!

Distance: 2.2 miles
Time: 30 minutes
Pace: 13:38

Avg. Speed: 4.4 MPH

First of many lame treadmill runs!

4.3 miles around the neighborhood

This was actually two days ago, when I started the blog.

I jogged the full 4.3 miles in my neighborhood route (not shown for obvious reasons) with walking as necessary. 1:10:00 time, roughly, for a 16:16 pace.

The weather's nasty here in Alabama in summertime, so I like to keep the speed more casual than race-pace.

I can't wait until it starts to cool down though. At night it will get to about 30-40 degrees with ~100% humidity during the fall/winter months (best time of the year here in the South!).

So maybe this blog will get more active then, but for now, you'll have to see lame treadmill workouts. I can't stand the heat.

First post!

Hey everyone! This is a blog for updating my running progress. I hope to update this blog several times a week with workouts/runs I'm doing in preparation for upcoming races.

Those of you who know me know I've wanted to run a full marathon before I turn 30. What with my 30th birthday coming up (and with school having to take precedence), it comes as no surprise that I won't be able to make that date.

However, I do plan on picking the half marathon training up when I can in the fall.

I've done the First Light Half Marathon twice before (2010 & 2011); I'm making 2015 my new goal!

Let's do this.
