Day One

Today is a new beginning in my life with my college academic and athletic career finally coming to an end. I was five great years that was filled with many memories that I will never forget. Being apart of the University of North Dakota CC/T&F teams has difinitly made me a stronger person and I hope that it will be a valuable experience throughout the rest of my life to come.

This is going to be my moivation to keep running and let everyone know what I am doing in my running. So here is the first update on the last couple of days.

5-31: 6.6 miles for the first day back after a 3 week break. Felt quite out of shape and can see that I need to start doing physical things again.

6-1: 6.7 miles. A little bit sore but overall I feel pretty good.

6-2: 7.5 miles. Ran with a couple of the guys on the team that love to run 'faster' all the time. I am not interested in running fast at all right now.

6-3: 6.8 miles. A cold rainy June day. Felt good and had no complaints with anything.

6-4: 8.2 miles. Was not planning on going this far today but I made a misjudgement in how far away from home I was and went an extra mile. I ended and felt fine so I wasn't to worried about it. We will see how the body takes it tomorrow.

So far it has been a good start back into running and I am really looking forward to seeing what soe really good training can do for a guy. The shorter distance races (5k-10k) are now for the most part over until next year and the longer races will be focused on (10 mile to marathon). Hopefully the different training will workout well for me and I will see some major changes in my preformance over the next year.
