picture of the boys
I was a little slow getting out of bed this morning but I made it to the gym and by 5:30 was on the mill. 1 mile of warmup and then did 2 miles at my marathon goal pace of 8:00 followed by 2 miles of tempo at 7:35 with the last half mile bumped up to 7:30 and then 2 miles at goal pace with the last mile bumped up to 7:53 pace. 1 mile of cool down gave me 8 miles in 65:17 total. It felt tough but not like a race or anything. I'm pretty happy with how it went. The way the plan works Tuesday seems to be the hardest day pace wise so I'll look at those to see if my 8:00min/mile marathon goal pace is realistic.
I know some people can't do treadmills for running but I seem to be one of those that can and my paces carry over pretty accurately from treadmill to outdoors. I'll be hooked up with this plan for the next few months but I came across a few good treadmill workouts on Natalie's blog. She's a bit faster than me right now but the concepts of the workouts are good and it appeals to those of you (like me) who like to push buttons while they run.
Oh yeah and I thought I would put up a picture of the boys in an effort to spice up the blog a bit. Maybe next I can figure out how to get my picture up on the left side....

Wow, thanks for the link. I am off to further investigate your bloggy. Cute boys, btw. Oh, and as far as speed, doesn't look like you are too far behind me. I'll be easy for you to catch and pass.

Cute boys. Your numbers look good. Not bad for only 1 year running. We could all wish to being moving so fast.
As for the profile picture, I think if you name the file "profile" and then upload it to images the template may already be set to show the picture. Mine is sized 'width=177,height=284'.

Got to your blog through a link on Darrell's site and saw the pic of your three boys. Got three myself that look to be about the same age. Keep up the good work!
