I'm really enjoying the Runner's World "Smart Coach" schedule. I've never done 5 mile tempo runs and longer than 1/4 mi. intervals! I can really feel the difference already...my thighs are sore!

Officially in training!

OK!! No messing around now! I'm back on a schedule and training for a 5k that is 8 weeks away. I haven't been doing much speed work for the past couple of months and today's 400's were pathetic. I really need to incorporate some weight training back into the mix as well. The next race planned is the Citrus Summer Showdown on July 11th. It takes place at the park and is hilly, sandy and just plain hard. I wasn't thrilled with my performance the last time I ran it. All the cross country kids from the county come out to this race as they prepare for their season. It's open to everyone of all ages as well and it's free so... why not?

My shoes are nearing the 600 mile mark...that's not good.
