Back, once again

this is the first time i have ran since 8/22. my running has been hit and miss since 7/25. i really have to get back on track since i have already signed up for the st judes marathon in december. i did 4 miles today and was trying to add a little speed work since i have a 5k race in less than 2 weeks. i ran training pace for 1 mile, then alternated between race pace/training pace for the rest of the 4 miles. my time was 41:05, a 10:15 pace, not bad, not my fastest, but i think i will be able to speed up a little since i have been running a good bit all summer and i am restarting at about week 5, and i had previously gotten to week 11.

here are my splits:

.5= 5.01 147
1.0= 10.05 5.03 166
1.5= 14.25 4.20 178
2.0= 20.19 5.53 171
2.5= 24.46 4.27 177
3.0= 30.26 5.39 171
3.5= 35.22 4.56 175
4.0= 41.05 5.42 174

here is my new philosophy as the thought of the day. i came up with this as motivation to eat better; eat better= lose weight= run faster.
