switching to fast running blog

i'm just logging my runs on fastrunningblog. see: http://cmckellar.fastrunningblog.com/

25 min week

This week when I run I am running for 25 min straight. Next week is 30. The week after that is training. I just need to know that I can consistently run for 30 minutes straight again before I start training. Today I ran 25. It felt pretty good. I felt like I could just keep going. I didn't because I don't want to push anything. I ran 2 miles in 19 min 21 seconds. Then I just ran until it was 25 min. My watch didn't have anymore memory to store any laps after 2 miles. My knee is not having any troubles, probably because I have been doing good with the stretching after I run!

Up and Running Again!

I finally started running again...after almost two years! It is a lot harder starting up after taking so much time off and after having a baby. My body is different and it works and responds differently. I also have some interesting issues (almost a year later!) from the difficult delivery that make running somewhat uncomfortable and frustrating but it's not disabling so I deal with it. My knee has not experienced a lot of discomfort. I am making sure to take things nice and slow and to stretch well after running. I signed up for a half marathon with my mom that is in August in farmington. So I have a while to train.
It's been nice to live so close to the byu idaho gym. I got a free spouse card so that I can go run on the track and use the gym any time. I really like the facilities but I can't wait till it is warm again so that I can run outside. I have worked up so that I can run for 20 minutes straight easily. Next week I will be running 30 minutes straight and then begin a training program.
Today I was able to run two miles easily. First mile 9:38, second mile 9:34. It was work, but it felt good and I could have kept running. I really am so happy to be running again!
