July 1st

2010 is half over and I am pleased with the progress I have made since Jan 1st.

Though I still have a long way to go before I reach my ultimate goals, I am patient, keeping things in perspective, and taking it step by step.

Today I ran 8.66 in 1:14:09, or 8:45 min/mile. In Jan I was running 10:30 min/miles for that distance. That is moving the ball in the right direction.

My hamstrings felt like they could support the Zakim bridge the first 3 miles or so this a.m. until they finally loosened up. That seems to be the case the morning after Taekwondo. Though my pace wasn't blazing I ran a good 2nd loop and look forward to my long run this Sunday morning in CT.
