Well I totally forgot to post yesterday. I try to wait until it is the same day here as it is back in the USA so my posts match up for the day I'm working out. I hope that made sense. LoL. Anyways, I got back to work (fitness wise) on Independence Day yesterday. I got in 3.32 miles and it was a pretty hard run which I totally expected. I weighed in at 265.4 lbs which I totally expected and now I have to get my head on straight and start to focus on August and my Hal Higdon 18 week marathon program. The Naha marathon is the first Sunday in December and my LAST chance to run that race before we leave next May. So I need to get it in gear and get focused. To help me focus I have decided to use July as my tune up month and get in 100 miles before I start the program next month. I am running 3 miles (Mon, Wed, Fri), 5 miles (Tues, Thrus), & starting this Saturday I will start at 6 miles and add a mile every week until I reach 10 miles on the last Saturday in July. I think it should be a good tune up before I start next month. Once I run the Naha marathon I want to get a tattoo on the right side of my chest of the winged shoe with Naha Marathon 2011 underneath it written in Japanese to commemorate my first marathon finish. Well that is the goal anyways.
Well today was actually a way better run and I hope a sign of things to come. I got in 5.11 miles today. I am doing most of my running right now on the treadmill to help my legs get back in shape. Less pounding will help my legs in the long run. Plus my longer runs I will do outside but it won't be until the heat and the humidity breaks which is good. Well it's time to focus and commit FINALLY!! Just Run!!

Glad your back. Looks like a good plan for Naha. If my sinus infection gets more better I might try and run your mileage but the day after. When we did that in Afghanistan and your other TDY's I had a lot of fun trying to keep up. They finally gave my some stronger antibotics which I hope will help. The infection made me feel like I had an earache. You take care and have fun with your running. love ya dad
