I was able to put in a total of over 4 miles on the track tonight ( this includes warmup/cooldown ) and it felt pretty good, needed some solid recovery, yet I did it. Of course, the little ones were near so I was not as aggressive an felt the need to leave a bit earlier then normal.
It was nice to see fellow Team RED Members out there. Yet, a few were missed.
The last week has been a rough one for many Team RED members as well as the family members, of a dear running friend, Paul Melby. He passed after collapsing after he ran his fastest ever, during a full marathon. He PR'd by 24 min.s and also qualified for Boston. That is what has helped the past week, during runs. Knowing that he would want us to celebrate his achievements. Yet, it is very difficult to think of the family that was deeply touched by his presence.
There is information on his services on the Team RED Blog:

If you could be so kind and keep his family and friends in your thoughts. As the wonderful wife, Shelly and his three beautiful children will surely need it. AS well as our support and love in the near coming future, if not now as well.
Keep on Keeping on dearest Readers....

May 4th, 2011 ( SWEAT! )
( Yes, I know I am posting this one May 5th, goofy :O) )
Tonight is track and I am debatting, after alot of different feelings went through my soul this morning, a short run and a hard core workout. Yet, I am going to recap what I did yesterday for a workout and then we will see how much I visit my blog this week.
I was able to kick it for 3.1Miles in the humidity. Man, I do not believe I have sweated this much since last year, in one day !! OOFTAA ...
I figured it was so worth it as I need to get ready for Ragnar and running in the humidity could be the name of the game ( period )!!
The only way to prepare for the goal that you have set: TRAIN/PRACTICE/REPEAT!!!
Hydration is much of a things now a days as well as working on the right food and nutrition. I am working on this and also I am going to look into more information on this. ( It is not that I do not have the info at my fingertips, it is taking the time to soak it up )
Time -- I sometimes wonder where will I fit this in, that in, etc .. it comes down to prioritizing. What is most important to you? For me: Its my HP ( higher power ), My sanity ( program/exercising ), My children, My family/friends, My career and then anything below this.... now to maintain that takes alot of organizing..yet, if I LET the first 2 go -- I lose what I have in front of me!!!
Push on dearest friends, Push on !!!

May 6th, 2011
Wow -- where does the time go ?? Not so sure, as here it is May and I am behind on blogging...ugh!!
Eitherway, Not behind on the running!!!
I was able to do 16 miles on my 16 years of sobriety --found that to be a GREAT Milestone on a milestone. For that was the farthest that I have ever ran in my life at one time!! Yay me!! And to top it off, I brought it in at 10 min/mile avg :O) I am very happy with that....
Since then I have ran around 5 to 6 day per week and brought in long runs around 14.5 and planning on another tomorrow at 15 miles.
I just came home from a 5 miler -- 44 min -->> BAM !!!!
That rocked my socks off !!!
Well, time to go !! Friend is here and time to get ready to go !!
