WINDY!  This was a PW for me in the half marathon distance.  I set my previous PW in the half marathon two years ago in this same race so I've stooped to a new low.  I'm okay with it though because I've had a solid year so far and April has been a solid month. 

The weight loss challenge starts at work on Monday and I am planning to lose 15% of my current weight which will put me back in the weight range where I should be running. 

My son Cory just ran his first half today after a great track season.  He came in around 1:44 and for the course and the wind that is a very respectable time for a kid who normally runs the 1600 and 3200 and averages around 25 miles a week.  He is going to start blogging his daily runs with "yours truely" as his coach until cross country team training starts in June.

Meg rocked me as she always does in a time of about 1:54.  I swear the woman feels no pain or fatigue and has will power of steel regardless of any nagging injuries.

Now that Cory will be blogging I will try blogging again as well if I can get back in the habit.

Rest.  Enjoyed watching Jamie play in her rare Sunday softball tournament for most of the day.  At least it got me out of counting tithing for the week :)

Last run of April and it's been a good April.  I think my total mileage for the month is around 175, unfortunately my legs are starting to feel it a bit so I plan to scale it back just slightly.  I have been getting back into running shape slowly over the past 4 months and kinda went crazy in April with some long hard weeks for the level of my current fitness.

I can tell I'm getting stronger, but I still feel a bit of the high mileage fatigue.  I think much of my problem lies with the extra 30-35 pounds I am carrying over my previous running weight around 170.  Even at 170 I thought I would have liked to be about 10 pounds lighter.  Weight loss challenge starts at work today and the winner gets $400.  I will probably weigh in around 205 and hope to be at 170ish by the end of three months.  I realize that is an aggresive goal, but I think it's doable with my continued running and cutting back on the calories.

Goal for St. George is to pace Meg to at least a 3:45, idealy a 3:35 and then go watch her run Boston since I think she's tired of waiting for me and I just don't know if I'll ever get there.  Let the St. George training begin....bring on the heat!
