Thu, 21 Oct 2010 06:00:00 http://coolrunnings.fastrunningblog.com/blog-10-20-2010.html Well, even though I planned on waiting a bit longer, I ended up going out for a run tonight.  It has finally cooled off quite a bit here, and the weather was just beautiful.  I just ran around our subdivision twice.  I have already noticed a difference in how easy it is to run, after having dropped about 10 pounds so far.  This run felt very good to my legs, but was a little bit harder on my lungs (I have been dealing with a cough ever since we got back from our ward pioneer handcart trek re-enactment that we had the privilege of taking part in).  Average pace was 7:30/mile.  I will bill this as a progressive run, as each mile was faster than the previous one.  Still felt good, though. Wed, 20 Oct 2010 06:00:00 http://coolrunnings.fastrunningblog.com/blog-10-19-2010.html I haven't been running as of late due to a recurrence in a slight calf strain on my right leg, but I have been working out so as to lose weight while I am not running, and hopefully when I start up again, it will be easier and less stress on my legs.  I am going to give it another week or so and will then start up again.
