Ok - no body laugh to hard at me now - but yes, I'm back again to give it another try. It's been 8 months of no running - just heavy weightlifting. I am now 238lbs and ready to knock it down to maybe 215 (220 would be alright). I ran 1.5m on my treadmill today at 10:00pace -- the funny part was that I got on, put it to the 10:00 and started and swore I was racing at a 6:00pace! It should be a fun road back - I work with James Holt - and he's "inspired" me to come back - oh yeah, you other guys have too! lol

Did 1m on the treadmill using a hill program - went well. Started at 10:00p then went down to 11:00 as the hilly part killed me, then back up to 10:00 to finish. Taken it slow, don't want to rush too into it and blow up! It was fun though - just mentally tough as you want to jump right into it but know better.  RunStrong all!

Hit 1.5m on the treadmill @ 10mmp - I had it on hills again and it pushed me hard. I'm still gonna take it easy and do it right.

Did 1.5m on treadmill this morning. Just ran the track at 1.0 incline. Ran first 10mins at 10:00 pace, then 1min @ 9:30 pace, 1min @ 9:00 pace - then back to 10:00 to finish. It felt good, mainly because I wasn't doing any hills with it - but heart rate stayed under 150 the entire time. Slowly but surely!

Afternoon lunch run - did 2M on the treadmill. Ran 5min @10:00 pace, 4min @9:00 pace, 2min @ 8:00 pace, 4min @ 9:00 pace and 5min @10:00 pace. I had the incline at 1.5 and my heartrate hit 165 during the 8:00, but back down to 154 for the rest. It was good to get this in - not wanting to push it, but needed to mix it up a bit.

Ran 2.06 on treadmill. I did the hill workout and keep forgetting that when my treadmill says "hills" what it really means is "mountains" - they just keep going up and up! I started with the first 5 mins @ 10:00 pace then did the remaining 15 mins at 9:30 pace and it felt really great. I was relaxed throughout the entire run even at the peaks! Body appears to be adapting quite well to running again. I've changed my weightlifting to a 3 day split routine and run the days I don't lift. This will be for the next few months anyway.

Nice easy run - probably should warmup or stretch first - sometimes I need too, sometimes I don't - so it's kind of a balancing act - anyway - I will try that more. Just kept it with no hills and at 1.0 incline - did 9:30 for some and 10:00 for some.

Had a good 2.0 Hill on treadmill - kept it @ 10:00 pace and didn't slow down even on the steepest parts. This was good as it showed me that my endurance and strength is coming back. I will do another 2 tomorrow then add a 3.0 outside on Saturday.

Ran outside this morning - after 2 weeks of the treadmill it was nice - was able to keep a better pace than I thought even. Ran a 9:27 and 9:13 and really had fun with it - just have to keep it real and not push too hard.
