Good luck! But what is it with running these days? My wife took it up in earnest about 1.5 years ago. She's already done 8-10 half-marathons and the New York and Boston marathons (New York ended up being 6 times around Central Park; she finished Boston 3 minutes before the bombs went off). I get tired just hearing about her training. More power to ya JD! |

When I used to run (...I was a sprinter, so short distances of 5k and less is what I concentrated on and could do 5k in ~15 min 35 sec). I took up running again last year and got in shape enough to run in the Run For Your Liv3s which was the funnest 5k I have EVER run. It was more like a series of 200 - 400 wind sprints, with some SHORT breaks, before doing it again, over and over, then an obstacle. All in all, GREAT FUN! Now back to the subject of running... A LOT of people get the "Runner's High". After a undetermined amount of time (varies with each individual) where the body gets a rush of endorphins (the body's own opiates) and you feel almost euphoric. So, a LOT of runner's get "addicted". For me the High would usually kick in after 1.5 miles or so, then I could run literally forever. (Back in the day, I could run for about 2 hours or more straight through...) After I rehab my back AGAIN, I do plan on running again. I have a race to get in shape for my the end of summer here in the NW. |

Finished in 2:14 - 10:15 seconds per mile, a record for me (as you can see, I'm not at all fast but I do enjoy it!) |

Good work! Or great fun! Whatever you feel it is. When I worked out I did 5mi in the morning and 3 to 5 in the evening. Loved it. Then my knees gave out for good. |

Don't sell yourself short AC, 10:15 is fine for someone doing it for fun. Just doing 13 miles straight of anything is really physically and mentally taxing. When I did maintenance in the distinguished visitor houses on base I would walk about 15 miles a work day, and I was pretty beat by the end of the day. Congrats, and keep at it! |
