On treadmill 2 miles at 8 min. Felt ok but couldn't have gone much faster today but could have continued at that pace. Hip still feeling good. Have to remember increase frequency then distance then speed. I am impatient to get back to where I was two months ago and progress from there. I do know that I am not running a marathon this spring. It is weird to be this interested in training. I have spent my whole life just running for fun and doing pretty well. Usually top 5-10% of age group. I did spend 1 summer in college training with some fast girls but the expectation of 100 mile weeks and the weight loss demands weren't that much fun. I thought qualifying for Boston would be fairly easy. But it did not come easily in my first marathon so now I have to work at it. Including losing weight! That seems weird at this age. |
