Hey friends. I'm checking in with a quick update post. I've still trying to get myself back into a regular running routine. I mentioned in my last post that my plan was to start a half marathon training plan but the time commitment required just wasn't working out with all that I have going on right now. I have a lot of home improvement projects in the works and although I love doing them, they take time and I just can't add running every day into the mix or I'll be worn out and won't enjoy any of it. So my current goal is to run every other day and work on my speed again. I was getting a bit discouraged because my pace has slipped considerably over the past couple of years. Some of this may be due to getting older, but there is certainly an element of me not pushing myself as hard or as often as I used to. My goal right now is to always be under 10min/mile pace and to shoot for a low 9min/mile pace consistently. Longer runs (8 miles or more) would be a different matter at least for now. I'd try to stay at least below 10:30 pace on those. Of course, all of this is dependent on the outside temps which vary quite a bit at this time of the year and can make huge difference.
Well, that's it for now. I'll try to post an update on how it's going in a week or two.
Peace!
