Life has taken me away from my blog. I have missed it so much! And I definitely have missed reading others. A quick blurb about my long run on Saturday. It was the longest run I have ever ran before. 11 Miles isn't all that bad when you work up to it. At first my shins were killing me and negative thoughts crept in thinking I can't do 11 miles, what am I ithinking. But I striked up a conversation with my running buddy and forgot all about the negative thoughts. The run felt great! It took me about 2:09 I forgot my watch but my running partner had his. 2:09 is the fastest I have ran.

Last week I did 10 miles and did it 2 hours exactly. I want to work on my speed during the week but I am not sure how to go about doing it.

I will post more about my run probably tomorrow when I do my 6 miles. Take care all.

Just one comment - never, never forget that life is more important than blogging! Anyway, welcome back. Isn't that feeling (eh, just 11 miles today) a wonderful one even if it doesn't last? And congratulations on a new distance PR.

If you want to work on your speed, there are some very good drills that you can do. Some of the ones that I've done in the past are on my Gazelle's page, and I'm sure that you'll get plenty of other recommendations too. Intervals and hills are where its at, though.

For some reason it didn't like my link. I don't think its escaping the percent sign properly. You may have try cutting and pasting this one to get it to work:
