OK, I appreciate that I should have wrote this up on Monday's run reports, but it's Tuesday now, and I wanted to write this, and as I will be running later today, I didn't want two reports - so bear with me, please.<br><br>
I have been neglecting my running in recent months, and the weight has slipped on, reaching a peak at 200 lbs by May 1. I am now on a steady diet, and all week I have been running, slow, short, but signficant, runs and on Monday I went to the gym and wanted to run a time trial to see what progress was being made, even in such a short space of time.<br><br>
Well, I decided on a 2 mile trial, and I ran hard and true, and as it was a treadmill there is not a lot to describe, but I managed to run 15:59 for the two miles, a time I was absolutely delighted at. It's been a while since I ran under 8 minutes per mile (for any distance!). Last week I was just about managing under 9 minute pace, and feelingit!<br><br>
Progress can be rapid when you get back into the swing. My weight has already shed 4 lbs, and I can now start to build on this little foundation and hopefully the summer will be more fun.<br><br>
Thanks for listening.....<br><br>
