I did an episode of insanity yesterday and im struggling to walk today. Don't feel bad haha
The route I did yesterday I’ve been doing for a year. Last fall I averaged 7:40 on this route and rarely had to stop for traffic. Lots of hills, good route. Yesterday I had to stop three times because I was freaking winded and averaged 8:24. Fack. I just lost a summers worth of hard work.
Its depressing how long the human body takes to get into shape and how fast it all can go away!
There are some little tricks to getting things done faster or regaining lost gains but yea, hard to build and easy to lose.
Ran 11 miles Wed, getting ready for a half marathon a week from tomorrow. I freakin' hate running on pavement, but the half in Arkansas is in town, and in October I'm running the USMC Marathon with my awesome Marine son.
This summer's gonna be a mix of trails, hills and concrete.

Ran the half marathon in Arkansas Saturday. Freaking cold and ridiculously windy. Set PR, pretty stoked.
No kidding. I've been boosting my miles of late - 5.8-9 mile runs, getting ready for July RNG. Freakin' Oklahoma hot, running at 3PM most of the time....
Gained 14 pounds since starting this job. Priority #1 for me is dropping the weight. It's killing me, especially on hills.
Got a 5k on the Fourth - did a fast 3-miler today. Kinda weird 'cause I've been focusing on long and slow trail runs.
Ate with my buddy yesterday....he started talking about the Bataan Death March Marathon. He was on the fence about it, I said "sign up, I'll do it, too".
The BBQ was good, and I love him like a brother, but I may quit going to lunch with him.

I've really thought about that one, but getting in requires getting drawn, THEN you get to start training. I'm not sure I'm young enough for all that.
