Took it nice and easy and finished in 1:14:24 without ever breathing hard! It made me forget about the pressures of school for a while and I had the opportunity to catch up with lots of folks from the running,cycling,triathlon community here I haven't seen in ages!So it was a great day to be alive and healthy and playing outdoors! Happy Weekend everybody! Shad

I am really proud of you Shad.

Last night was the last night of week #1 training.. and I did the intervals and hit my first 3 miles in less than and hour with 12 min of jogging. That is a huge step for me. Thanks for the encouragement. I have a good team thus far. They see I am going to the gym and they want to come too, and if it is just me I make myself go and even a 30 min work out is better than nothing.

Today starts week #2 Walk 5min jog 2min.. (hehe I am almost there already)... but I will take it as it is... I am really enjoying not working out to lose weight. It is so much more refreshing trying to beat my fastest time.
1.5 miles in 27:30 wooot... considering it took 30 min last tuesday.
