I decided i'd go back to running with our group today. I'm going to see if i can do this every week for a while.
My legs felt alright, breathing & knee ok, bladder was fine. I'm still very slow but was happy to make it around the track! (track's 800m)
I think i ran 2km but didn't time myself.
Next week?

Shiraz... WOW! That's awesome! 1st place! How cool! We have so many amazing ladies on this board.
Congratulations!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Shiraz--Yay! That must have felt great to be up there on the podium
I decided if I really want to be a faster runner then I need to start doing the work. So, I'm going to start pace training. My goal is eventually to get to 8 minute miles. Right now I'm at 9:15's. My first goal is to get to 8:40. I plan to build for 3 weeks, 1 week recover, and build and so on. I'm going to do one pace run, 1 trail run, and 1 easy run a week.
Week 1
