I ran in Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue 10K about a month ago, and I've been pretty lazy since. I'm doing about 5 miles per week right now and hope to pick it up a bit this week. I'm finding that my speed and endurance have reduced dramatically in the last month, as has my motivation; however, I'm hopeful that blogging will help motivate me to do better. After all, I think that most people (myself included) try a bit harder when others may be watching!
I'm running in Richmond's half marathon in November and will officially begin training in late July, but I'd like to work on speeding up until then. I'll run 30 minutes twice a week during the work week, then I'll do 2-3 miles on the weekends. I'll keep it short so I can really concentrate on my pace. I'll start this schedule tomorrow!

I'm aiming for 2x in the a.m. week and sat/sun. We need to run together on Sat a.m. since R is home to watch the boys. Better yet, he and J can make bfast for the kids while we are out.

hmmmmm. Maybe I could do this with you - I can't train in person with you, but your motivational spirit might just be the kick in the fat pants I need to finish off this baby weight. And I can totally drive up in November to run with you! What do you think...can you be my exercise angel?
