starting all over

I'm up to 4 miles now. I was supposed to run 8 today but I am definitely not up to 8 continuous miles. The past 2 times I ran, I did the 4 miles. But I did them at a slow pace, 10 min/mi. I figured that training at a faster speed last year may have been the reason for my sore knees. So I'm going to slow it down. Maybe I can run 8 miles at that pace but I don't know. Then once I get outside, I won't have a choice but to go normal pace. I cannot for the life of me go slow outside, I can't control my own speed too well.

There's this online store called OneMoreMile.net and they had a slogan contest. It's where I got my shirt that says "13.1 miles. Been there, done that." and undies that say "Sorry, I have to go running." I submitted the slogan "Running is my boyfriend." I want a shirt that says that!!

I'm not doing the indoor triathlon after all. I waited until pay day to sign up but I forgot to that last Friday and the deadline was Superbowl Sunday and I was in Chicago all weekend. But Brent's doing it so I'll be there to support him and then to revive him.

I get to go to Iowa in two weeks! Yay for racing season!

Hi Lindsay! Figured I'd re-comment here to your comment on my blog. Rockford will be my first half-marathon so I'm excited. I've been following your blog regularly- it's always great to read what other runners are up to. I'm sort of a newbie at this so it helps to take in tips from the pro's :)
