Because I have to be faster than Stickaz.
Don't mind the fact that I've gained like ten pounds this year and have hardly run. Or that I had hernia surgery yesterday so I don't really know when I get to start running again.
In any event, I'm signed up for the St. Jude's half in Memphis this December. I've run this course before. My half-marathon PR on a tougher course is 1:57:53. I think getting down under 1:50 should be doable if I put in the work (including speed work) and get my weight back where it should be. The arrival of fall temps will be huge for me as I don't tolerate the summer heat and humidity well when I run. Temps in the 40s or so on race day would be perfect as well.
I guess workout #1 was today - I walked to get my gyro for lunch instead of driving. About six blocks round trip.
In all seriousness it is good for me to have a race and a goal to get back into training. Hopefully I can get back to running in the next 2 to 3 weeks and we'll see what happens. Maybe I'll starve myself in the mean time to accelerate the weight loss.

Foam roll! And a touch of strength training.
Good to see you back at it.

Hang in there man! 12 weeks means you have some time to ease into the distance right?
Got time to get in 15-20 miles/week? Get some good base miles in?

Eased off the running for about a week and a half. My knees are tolerating it less than usual. They have always been sore for a day or so after a run, but right now the soreness is lasting much longer.
Hitting the weights and riding my bike on the trainer (). Going to run this weekend and see what happens.
Right on track for my worst half ever
