I have been showing my face everyday during the week at the gym. The speed is getting better and feeling easier. Today was another step up so it was not as easy this morning but you can't stop progress! My long run on Saturday was humid but good friends made the time fly by. I am still only able to complete 7-8 miles which is fine for the summer months. I have given up marathon running for the next few years so this fall the races for me will be 13 miles or less.
On another note:
I was watching the Biggest Loser last week which was a first for me. Does anyone else see this show as a bad idea. I think it is wonderful the participants are getting in shape however aren't they losing a dangerous amount of weight in one week? They are getting encouraged to lose as much as possible from week to week and it just seems really unhealthy and contrary to anything I have ever known about weight loss. Maybe I am missing something but I just watched the whole time thinking one of them would pass out any second. One of the guys even mentioned he could now run at 8.5 mph on the treadmill. I can't even do that! Just seems off to me.

This is a blog about my running life and sometimes other things. I am a recreational and at times competitive runner in the Houston/Clear Lake area. I have a wonderful family that has come to appreciate my running habit.

I totally agree with you about The Biggest Loser. It just seems like a bad idea. Not losing weight, of course, but I'm guessing that there is a lot of dehydration and diuretic use on weigh-in day...
I'm taking the plunge and running a fall marathon, so I fired up the blog again--drop by anytime.
Hey Priscilla! I am from Houston too!
