Return to fun!

I laugh at that title some - return to fun! - It means that I have returned to running for awhile and it is "hopefully" going to be fun. I started again yesterday and did 1.5m (m=miles) on my treadmill. I put the speed at a 10:00mmp (mmp=minute mile pace) and got on and then it just seemed to be getting faster and faster - I swore I was running a 6:00mmp! But it went well as my heart rate didn't go above 150 so I wasn't killing myself too much. I just got into my mind and relaxed my body into the pace as I learned how to do last year - and it worked great. I will be running only about 3 days a week for awhile until I get more into running shape.

My weight was at 238.0 after the run -- however, this morning without a run I was at 244.8 - so I have some too lose before I can make a serious running bid here. I will drop it down to 220 and possibly 215. I only need to keep it above 200 to stay in the Clydesdale division so that's not going to be an issue. I've packed on enough muscle to not have me ever go that low again.

We are enjoying the cooler temperatures here now -- the 80's is a very welcomed sight. Shouldn't be long before the two giant trees in our backyard dump their massive amount of leaves -- and that's going to be something cleaning all of them up!

Stay strong everyone!
