Treadmill - 23:45

Easy jog on the treadmill at home.

Weight: 181 lbs. I weighed 171 less than 3 months ago before the marathon. I really can pack on the weight with bad eating habits and lack of running.

Weekly plan for the next 2 months: 1- longer run (60 minutes, then add 5 minutes per week); 1- easy run with 8 x 100m strides at the end; 1- 7 mile progression run; 1 - fartlek workout; 3 easy to moderate runs.

Following this should hopefully get me back in shape and it's not overly ambitious so I could realistically do it.

Sick the last week. Missed two days of work. Didn't feel great still today, but nice to get out. Ran at about 7:15/mile pace.

Run to the airport - 33:02

Have been doing this lots lately to retrieve cars for my lucky family members who get to travel to foreign, exotic, warm lands. Felt horrible but I have to start somewhere.
