I am officially six days into this adventure of seriously getting back into running and, by all accounts, it is ugly.  I am averaging 2 miles per day and roughly 9:50 per mile…needless to say I’m rusty.  I was thinking, this morning as I lumbered along, that I’ve got months before I start to see any measurable results… there’s so much rust on this machine!  Then it hit me…. it won’t be that bad.

I’m going to focus on speed over mileage…2-3 miles a day until I can get down comfortably under 8:30 pace.  From there, I’ll start to up the mileage slowly until 2-3 miles is comfortably under 8 minute pace… and we’ll take it from there.  Baby steps for this machine….
