nice paces Jon

Thanks Tim, those have been some tough paces for me, so it was good to nail 8 without pushing too hard. It is pretty humbling when I look back Dec. 31' 2011, when I did the same run at 6:50 pace concluding 65 miles in 5 days.

It will be a journey, but I think I noticed my first jump in fitness today ... Made for a nice Monday,

Yeah I am in the same boat. Good word you used, humbled. There is no silver bullet to get back to where we were other than running more.

I think I got stuck in the fact that I'm no longer where I was so my runs were disappointing and a chore. However, rather than being down on myself for being slower than I used to be, I feel like I just need to start all over and see what happens.

I ditched the watch last week and I'm trying to enjoy my runs. I just need to build consistency and I know I will see improvement.

Good progress JG! You're going to be back to speed soon. Keep up the good work!

You nailed on the head Tim ... I would say I made my first commitment to running in January 2011. When I look back at the improvements I made over those 1st 6 months ... well I just remind myself that is where I am today ... but the speed will come back!
