Thank u SO much for ur help! I had no idea about these apps. I will get the free ones out.
This right here is so important and i didnt realize that until u said that. I am absolutely expecting myself to get back to that and i expect to get there sooner than later lol but thats not the reality of things. My body has changed dramatically including weighing more than i used to weigh while running back then. So ur advice on taking it slow is very useful. Uv always been an inspiration to me when it comes to running. I see ur posts and it really motivates me to get to where u are. Altho im sure uv had tons more practice than i ever had with running. U just seem to be a pro at it 
im glad ur finding some balance that works for u too. U must have to fight the urge to run when ur walking. I can only imagine how difficult that would actually be when ur so used to running.

You got me blushing 
thank you for all the kind words. I’ve only been running for about 6 years and the first two I was still a cigarette smoker so I had an avg mile of 16-17 minutes. I walked all the time back then and I think that is one of the things that makes it so hard for me to walk now. Once I get my jeep back from the shop I’ll be able to take the dogs walking again. They keep me at a reasonable pace. We do walking with a few sprints thrown in.
I look forward to your running journey!

I wanted to do a long run today but I needed to get some intervals done. One of my goals is to get faster this year. So here’s to that
(not sure why it didn’t break my intervals down) This was the endurance push run on runkeeper.

Quick one before day two of the trade show I’m at. I used to go out and party every night at this show and be terribly hungover… now I go to bed early, wake up early to work out, and enjoy my day!

Just signed up for a 10k race in April! I’m not a die hard runner, I just like the energy and challenge of races. Need some snow to melt before I can train outside but I keep busy on the bike trainer and Nordic skiing.
