I haven't heard from any body in a while (except my mom, thanks mom!) so let me know if you can see the chart or if you are having trouble with the player that shows my run.  Any and all comments are  appreciated.  And let me know how your exercise and diet activities are going!  Back to the regularly scheduled blog entry...

Grady and I met at 5:30 a stretched and started running at 5:45. We were purposely taking it slow. At this point in my training for the half I am more concerned about putting miles on my legs and not so much with speed. My goal for the half marathon in February is to finish. After that I will concern myself with a pace fast enough to "beat the bridge" at the Marine Corps marathon that I hope to do next October. To make it to the bridge before they re-open it to traffic and don't allow any more runners you have to average a 14 minute mile. Seems doable but that bridge is at mile 17 or something crazy like that. But I digress. Today we started off well. Grady started getting a stitch so we walked through the park along the battery. We picked it back up and headed up Meeting. We cut over to Church and made it past market and we walked again for a block. Picked it back up down George all the way past the Cistern at CoC. From there we walked. Here's a link the player that shows the run: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/player/6406819  And here's the chart of my pace and heart rate:
