Behind...

So I'm a little behind. I have no excuse other than laziness. Last Tuesday (November 10) I ran 1/2 mile and walked 1/2 mile, and rode a bike for 1 mile. It was cold, but not unbearable (really, it was just cool, but felt cold because it had been so warm recently). After riding the bike for a while (I cheated; I rode the stationary bike in the weight room), I ran into the middle school boys track coach and he and I talked track for quite a while. You have to be careful, because once you get me started, I have trouble stopping--but so does he, so it's just a good time!

Then I didn't run...
and I didn't run...
...

I didn't run again until Saturday, but it was beautiful on Saturday. We went to the park again and I ran a mile while my wife and daughter walked a mile (really, my daughter slept in the stroller for a mile). Then we walked a mile together. With about 200 to go in my running mile, I saw an old friend from high school (not too old yet, we graduated in 2001), but he didn't see me, so I kept on going. I figured I could stretch and then come back and talk to him, but he left before I finished stretching, so now I'm feeling guilty about it. If I didn't have a stroller with me, I could have just run across the rough (grass) and caught up; alas, such are the constraints of having a baby!

The run on Saturday felt really good, but I didn't time myself. I need to start doing that so that I know the pace I'm running. I'll try to post that information as well. Hopefully, I will be able to run tonight...if so, there will be more coming!
