And it begins...

Last night: 2.3 miles in 20:16.  8:49 pace.  Ran to the gym...John promised to drive me home.  Oh and by the way, last night was beautiful out.  We only hit around 80*F yesterday.  Amazing for Florida in May!
Biceps and abs at the gym.

This morning 4 miles in 37:02.  9:16 pace.
Mile 1: 9:58
Mile 2: 9:49
Mile 3: 9:04
Mile 4: 8:41.
I know the first and last are correct.  The middle two are within seconds.  Don't have the Garmin with me, but I glanced at it before heading to work.

This morning John and I actually got up and ran.  This morning.  Big deal.  We really haven't gone out just to run in the morning before work since training for the last marathon.  Hopefully we can keep this up.  I love the feeling I get when I run in the morning.  Sure, I'm tired by the end of the day because I was up earlier, but it gets me to bed earlier (yay!) and I feel so good and energized during my work day.  Awesome!

The One Where I've Made Some Changes...

As you probably noticed, I changed the name of my blog and a bit of the layout.  I hope to make a new one soon, but for now, this will do.  I'm going to start documenting more of my runs to keep myself accountable.  I mean, I can't look like a slacker to all of you and John too :-)  And Lou Lou comes from John...Lou is my middle name that I hated as a child but have embraced since it's been passed down for generations.  The End.

June 4th, is the technical start to MarathonFest here in Orlando with a local running club called Track Shack.  They do an awesome job, especially for the community.  I was an active participant in MarathonFest my last marathon, but driving 30 minutes one way in the morning to run, made me a mean person after a while because my sleep was stolen, so I'll train in spirit during the week this go-around.  I'm going to follow some of their training program, some of another one I found through Runner's World, and, I got the book Run Less, Run Faster, so hopefully between those 3 things, I'll find a good groove that'll help me kick Savannah's trash!

Hopefully you are all having a Happy Monday!  I'll update your on our weekend hopefully tomorrow if I can grab some pictures off the camera to share with you!
