1/18/11 (Tuesday) Workout

Ran seven miles at an easy pace. Total time of 54:35 (7:48  min mile pace, roughly 7.7 mph).  I forgot to mention that on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I also do weight training.  Each day I target a different area, making sure to give each area at least 48 hours rest.

As I ran today I reflected back to the first time I really started running in February 2005.  I could barely run 200 yards and struggled to do a 10:00 minute mile pace (6.0 mph).  When you have been out of shape most of your life, you become amazed at just what your body can do once you have the proper conditioning (or maybe it is just me).  Sometimes I am literally astonished at what I see in the mirror.  After so many years of seeing one thing, it still, sometimes, is hard to get used to seeing (or even believing) the results.
