So I am adding another category to the Workout Recap: Overall Pace. Why? Well remember when I got super excited for running a mile in under 12 minutes? My very next workout I ran 2.5 miles in 25 minutes. Gentle readers with more than a passing interest in counting will note that means that I ran 10 minute miles, which is a new Personal Record. Today my pace of 10.44 was slower, but I am definitely heading in the right direction! Too bad that this direction has brought me two giant blisters today.

In other news, if you are wondering what training program I used to get up and get running from a largely stationary lifestyle, you can check out the program I use here. The site is great, but it doesn't always pass the Menville test, and if you are non-male bodied you know what they say about exercise tips from scientific studies done on men.
