On To The Next Run

So it's been about 2 weeks since I began running again. I think I said in the last post that I'd be checking in every week. Whoops!! Well anyway, here's the rundown.
It's getting a little easier and I'm definitely enjoying the challenge. I constantly find myself looking forward to getting back out to the next run each time and pushing myself to run just as hard as I always say I will "next time".
I've traded in the Forerunner 305 for an iPod Touch mainly because of the 1200 miles I've accumulated on Nike+ over the past 5 years. I'll get to work reconfiguring this blog to post some Nike+ info so keep an eye out for new widgets. That's it for now, though.

Back to Basics

It feels weird to be writing a post about running but the funny thing is when I started this blog, that's all it was supposed to be about. This blog was originally called "Running The Streets". I wrote about the progress I was making trying to bring my weight down after a bad Dr. visit. Anyway, I did pretty good. I lost weight and actually began to like running.
We moved in '09. The free time I had for running was now spent on the freeway. I've tried to take advantage of the time I do have and now I've got some new motivation.
I challenged a friend to a 5k run in November(ish). What I've got to concentrate on is bringing down my time. I'll be checking in every week (maybe more often than that) with a post to let you know how it's going.
I included a picture of my time from this morning's run. Good starting point, I'd say. Plenty of room for improvement.
