Thanks to a comment from DMYii we have a post.

I have been running. Thanks for your inquiry. Tomorrow will complete 3 week of training. So far I have lost an inch or two and 2 pounds. I do love the Chinese buffets at lunch time.

In review, during the week of 7/7 I ran 2 miles on Tue, Thur and Saturday. I dropped 45 seconds off each mile by the end of the first week of running. The week of 7/14 proved a bit more challenging. Tuesday was a 2.5 mile run, Thursday was a 3 mile run and a three miler completed the week on Saturday morning. My pace was a steady 11:46 each run.

This week has been a bit tougher and it ain’t over yet. A three miler started the week on Tuesday, Thursday I opted for the treadmill downtown at the Y before a meeting. That was a bad choice. My feet and mind, sans the iPod, hated the treadmill. After two miles I walked to the steam room. The run was supposed to be a three miler.

Tomorrow is the biggest challenge. A leisurely 4 miler first thing in the morning. I will be hitting the sidewalks and streets for this one and leaving the treadmills for mice and other inside runners. I am extremely nervous about this run. 3.1 has been the longest I have ever run without stopping. My goal is to keep this under 12 minute miles and not to stop running.

My route is here: Kettering 4 miler

Wish me luck! Next week is a 3 mile on Tuesday, 4 mile on Thursday and 5 mile easy run on Saturday. Apparently they are not long runs until they are 6 miles. Those begin on Aug 9 and 16. I am planning to run my “10 miles for the Jeep” on October 11. That is 8 days before the half marathon.

So how about that for an update?
