Stronger and Longer

Step by step....inch by inch.... I have noticed the old body responding! Today I actually knocked off two good miles out of the 3 1/2. The hills are having effect!
My plan is to increase 10% each week off of a 30 min 3 run a week start. I am up to 36.5 minutes per run and still three runs. Next week I will go to 40 min and still 3 runs. Then the next week I will go to four runs at 30 minutes each. I will still add in hill repeats during this build phase. I plan on leveling off at four runs @ 30 minutes for two weeks then start the 10% increase again until I add enough time for an additional day putting me back to running five days a week. I really don't have a race in my sights but I'll just play that by ear. I tried a downhill today! It was fun!! That's why I love running, it IS fun! I also had to go to a health screening for Sandy's employer today. My blood pressure was 116 over 74! I'm chillin' baby! All my other numbers were real good! I will continue to pursue the breaking of the four hour barrier in the marathon. Right now I'm experiencing quite a set back but it's hard to keep a good man down! Peace!
